On Sunday morning, our Rotary team gathered in the Conduit to put up the Sherborne Town Christmas Tree and Nativity Scene. Thanks to a fantastic group effort — and some generous help from friends outside Rotary — everything is now shining brightly for the festive season.

A huge thank you to Will at Timber Millers Lewis Kellaway, Joe Jupe, Bob Wilding and Steve Chorley for lending their time and skills. Your support made all the difference.

This year’s set-up was a little smoother than last year (when Storm Bert tried to wash us away!) and there were plenty of smiles all round as the decorations came together.

Huge thanks also to The Gardens Group, Sherborne Chamber of Trade and Commerce, Sherborne Town Council, Sherborne Boys.

✨ Most importantly, the tree and nativity help us raise funds for a new local charity: “Let’s Help Our Primary School Children.” You can find out more on their brand-new website: https://lhops.co.uk.
If you’d like to support this wonderful cause, please consider making a donation — every contribution helps bring joy and opportunity to children in our community this Christmas. Donate here: https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/Q7R7968Q

Vice President Neil Bright, pictured with the two recipients of The Aubrey Allen Award. Many congratulations to both students from The Gryphon School.

The Aubrey Allen Award recognises young people who take part in activities outside the school curriculum that help others or the local community.

The annual Aubrey Allen Award was started many years ago by a then member of the Rotary Club of Sherborne. He was unsurprisingly called Aubrey Allen and he wanted to encourage and reward young people of school age to take part in activities outside the school curriculum especially those helping others. Each year the Club seeks two nominations from The Gryhpon School, who are each awarded book tokens to the value of £40.
