Rotary Global Swimarathon

The Rotary Global Swimarathon is an initiative by one of our closest neighbours, the Rotary Club of Grantham.

The aim was to get as many people swimming at events around the world on the 25th February 2012 for just one hour and raise sponsorship for their efforts. All funds raised will go to Rotary International Polio Campaign.

Although the final count is still underway, it is clear that well over 4,000 swimmers took part worldwide and raised in excess of £25,000.

Melton Aurora’s event was held at the fantastic Uppingham Sports Center having been swiftly rearranged due to a problem with the planned venue.

The Melton Aurora Rotary Club is the third Rotary club in Melton Mowbray and we have just celebrated our inauguration with a fantastic barn dance at Waltham Village Hall.

We were proud to play host to representatives from 25 other Rotary clubs on the night.  A hog roast was on the menu and a fantastic time was held by all.

The event was held last Friday and we were presented with our charter certificate by Roger McDermott (Rotary International’s District Governor) and we celebrated becoming an official Rotary Club with a good dance!
