St Neots St Marys Rotary Club is a voluntary organisation whose members enjoy each other's friendship and, in doing so, raise money for a range of good causes through activities including the Annual Sportsman's Evening, the St Neots Mayor's Charity Golf Day, the St Neots Charity Dragon Boat Event, the Annual Charity Bike Ride as well as organising social functions for members and their families.

On a beautiful September autumnal day this week the club again organised the St Neots Mayor's Golf Day in conjunction with St Neots Town Council for the 28th time. Held at St Neots Golf Club the event attracted an excellent entry of 24 teams of four which was won by Paul's team from Brampton with an amazing score of 132 points with sponsors Wintringham Estates in second place with 120 points and Bryan's Boys in third with 119 points. All three teams won rounds of golf for four people at local golf courses.
Thanks go to all the players for supporting the event and to several local companies for their sponsorship and for the generosity shown towards the raffle.
Thanks also go to the Rotarians who helped 'behind the scenes', the bar staff, catering staff and green keepers who worked hard throughout the day.
Also thanks to Karen for supervising the raffle and to our two Rotarian chefs at the halfway house for keeping the golfers fed and watered. Shame their recent application to Master Chef 2027 didn't succeed.
Once all the accounts are settled we will know how much has been raised for the Mayor's charities and our own nominated charity.

Rotarians Elaine Sefton and David Lawrence attended the One Day Rotary District Membership Conference, held at Greetham Valley Golf and Country Club, on Saturday September 19th 2026.

The aims of this One Day Conference were to look at why some Rotary Clubs attract new members with ease, while others find it a constant challenge?

Guest Speakers talked about "What if your Rotary Club could become the one everyone is talking about, because of its thriving membership?"

What are the ways you can go about getting good membership numbers?

And also how can we (as a Club) go about starting up a new Rotary Club in St Neots that is different in its outlook, perhaps in its age group and its approach to Rotary?

There was also a look at what opportunities could 'Corporate Membership' and other 'Membership Types unlock for your Rotary Club?

And finally - what simple ideas could make a real difference to your Rotary Club membership this year and in future years?
The Conference met as well in discussion groups during the day to talk abut the following.........

What successful clubs do differently.
What practical ideas can be taken home and used immediately.
How the different Membership types can open new doors.
What opportunities and experiences can we share and learn from fellow Rotarians.

All in all whether a Rotary Club is growing, looking to reverse a decline, or simply wants to build an even stronger future, this conference aimed to ensure that we would leave with new ideas, renewed enthusiasm and plenty of inspiration. We think that it did. Congratulations to District Membership Team Lead Steve Howe for producing an excellent Conference

Our club has responded quickly to the terrible disaster in Nepal by arranging for a ShelterBox to be delivered immediately to the affected area. Since 2021 the club has provided 4 ShelterBoxes to Ukraine, I to Morocco, 1 to Libya, 1 to Gaza, 1 to Bangkok and 1 to Jamaica representing £6000 in donations.
The club was awarded a Bronze certificate by ShelterBox for outstanding support during 2025/2026.
ShelterBox was founded in 2000 by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard in the small town of Helston, Cornwall UK.
Now, 25 years later, ShelterBox has grown into an independent international disaster relief organisation that provides emergency shelter, tools and other essentials to people after disaster.

The club were proud to support two young St Neots Dragon Boat Team members who were recently selected in the under 18 crew to represent Great Britain in the European Dragon Boat championships held in Munich in July . Rhys and Marlee visited the club this week and gave an excellent and informative presentation of their experience. Twenty one countries were represented at the event and the crews had to race over 200 metre, 500 metre and 2000 metre distances. The GB team members were selected from clubs around the country and it was a great honour for two members of the SNDBT club to have been selected.

Another highly successful St Neots Charity Dragon Boat Event organised by St Neots Town Council with help from our club and the St Neots Dragon Boat Team. Incredibly competitive racing by 20 crews watched by a huge crowd on a beautiful summer's day with a number of races being decided by a fraction of a second, and for the first time ever a dead heat in one of the semi finals resulting in a race off.
The event was won for the second consecutive year by Paranova (formerly Coveris) with AJS Construction runners up and the Drunken Dragons in third place, the winning margin being just two tenths of a second in a very competitive final.
It was great to see so many families enjoying the Regatta Meadow with all the stalls and food outlets with many families picnicking alongside the river.
Hopefully a sizeable sum will have been raised for the Mayor's charities and our own nominated charity Sue Ryder - St Johns Hospice once all the proceeds have been calculated.
We hope to see many of the crews back again next year.

At last evening's club meeting Mike Truswell was installed as Club President by Malcolm Watkins who handed over the reins after a very successful year, particularly for the Fund Raising efforts which raised just over £19,000 and enabled Malcolm to donate £4500 to his nominated charity East Anglian Air Ambulance as well as being able to help 22 other local charities and international charities and disaster appeals throughout the year. Also the club has enjoyed a very successful year socially with a varied number of events held for members, partners and guests being well attended throughout the year.
Mike is hoping to continue this trend and has nominated Sue Ryder Hospice at Moggerhanger as his charity for the year. With fund raising events such as the Dragon Boat Event, Mayor's Golf Day both organised in conjunction with St Neots Town Council, together with two planned Sportsman's lunches, Mike hopes the club is able to support as many good causes in the coming year as it is again hoped to raise in excess of £15,000 for our Charity account.
We are an active club with lots going on and would welcome new members enquiries can be made via our website www.rotaryuk.net

As an example of 'Rotary in Action' one of our members has recently visited one of the bridges on the Ouse Valley Way, close to the caravan site in Eynesbury, to clear the path of vegetation which was blocking the route. The 'before' and 'after' photos tell the tale. More would have been done but the battery on the hedge trimmer ran out!!!

Club members were pleased to support 'The Big Listen' today on the Market Square together with our Mother Club in a shared marquee. We were able to speak to many people during the day and tell them about our fund raising efforts over the years, over £500,000 raised by our club alone since 1985, the majority of which is donated to local charities and good causes.

President Malcolm and members and partners recently visited the HQ of the East Anglian Air Ambulance at Cambridge Airport. The group were able to meet the aircrew, paramedics and Doctors who explained what was involved in a typical day and the area they covered with the helicopter and fast response vehicles. Malcolm was delighted to present a cheque for £4000 being part of the Club's fund raising activities during his year as President which ends on 30th June. It proved to be a very enjoyable and educational day out followed by a nice lunch at a local hostelry.
