Formerly the Rotary Club of Oswestry and the Rotary Club of Oswestry Cambrian (now merged). The Rotary Club of Oswestry Cambrian is one of the new brand of Rotary and is designed to fit the family and work life of this generation of members.
● Fit for family life
● Fit for work life
● Fit for YOUR life

The social bond created by Rotary gives an instant sense of belonging, wherever you are in the world. Many a member in need of a local doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist or other expertise while travelling have found assistance through Rotary. Be part of one of the largest social clubs in the world and register your interest in Rotary, we’d love to hear from you! Oswestry Cambrian Rotary recently became the first Rotary Club in Shropshire to sign up to the Armed Forces Covenant. In signing the Covenant, club members are committing themselves to recognise the particular issues faced by serving and ex service personnel and their families. We meet on a Thursday at 7.30pm for 8 00pm in the bar at the Wynnstay Hotel, Church Street, Oswestry, SY11 2SX. For those that cannot attend our Rotary in person, we have a Zoom link so anyone can join us from anywhere... . To find out more about the exciting Oswestry Cambrian Rotary, simply message us and we will get back to you with details of the club.

HELP NEEDED!

As usual the Rotary Club of Oswestry and Cambrian will be bringing Santa and his Sleigh to Oswestry this year. It all starts with the main Lights switch on (Thursday 19th November), and continues via appearances at Morrisons, Whittington Fete, Stans, Gobowen Cross Foxes, The Cross in Oswestry, and Sainsbury's (time table to follow).

We are desperately in need of Volunteers to help us - we specifically need people who could be Santa for about two hours. The role involves sitting in the sleigh waving at the children and having your picture taken. We supply Santa suits, hats and beards!

In the past we have taken Santa around the streets of Oswestry, but again, we don't have the resources to do that this year, unless we can get volunteers from Oswestry to help us out.

Please contact [email protected] if you would like to help us out either as Santa, or to help put on a travelling Santa.

This year we are raising money for PCAS (an independent advocacy charity), MusicMOB (providing musical tuition for local primary school children), Oswestry and Borders Foodbank and Friends of Parkies.
