🎡 Rotary at the Royal Bath & West Show 🎡

What a fantastic few days at the Royal Bath & West Show!

Members of Shepton Mallet Rotary Club were proud to once again help provide the Children's Safety Bracelet service, helping families enjoy the show with added peace of mind.

It was wonderful to see so many visitors enjoying everything the show has to offer and to be part of such an important community event right here on our doorstep.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, organisers, exhibitors and visitors who helped make this year's show such a success.

As Rotarians, we're proud to support initiatives that make a real difference to local families, and the Children's Safety Bracelet scheme is a great example of Service Above Self in action.

✨ Great night last night at the Crossways Hotel for the Shepton Mallet Rotary Club Foundation Dinner ✨

It was a truly lovely evening, with MP Tessa Munt delivering a thoughtful, engaging and community-focused after-dinner speech — a real highlight of the night.

A further special moment was Bob Thornton being awarded the Paul Harris Award in recognition of his amazing dedication and diligent service to Rotary Youth Speak 👏

Although we didn’t capture a photo on the night, we didn’t want this moment to go unrecognised — Bob was genuinely surprised and incredibly humble receiving his award.

A big thank you to fellow Rotarians for organising such a wonderful evening.

Congratulations Bob — very well deserved! 🎉

Today at the Shepton Mallet Rotary Tuesday lunchtime meeting, we had an insightful and inspiring talk from Matthew Pike, Headteacher of Whitstone School. Shepton Mallet.

Matthew spoke with real passion and enthusiasm about the importance of working closely with the local community to enhance opportunities for students and broaden their experiences beyond the classroom.

It’s encouraging to see such a strong commitment to collaboration and community engagement.

We are already seeing the positive impact of this approach, with events such as the Snowdrop Festival Fashion Show bringing people together, and we look forward to many more opportunities for community partnership in the future.
