Club Charity Support
Every year the club adopts a charity and makes a donation. The charity is proposed by club members and then put to a vote of the whole club, and the club then donate to the chosen charity.
We are also a regular supporters of the Thornbury Rotary Swimathon and Walkathon Event each year.
