The Rotary Club of Thornbury Thornbury is the centre of a lively community which our Rotary Club has served since 1971. The town is situated in South Gloucestershire, 15 miles north of the city of Bristol. In those 35 years we have raised well over £200,000, mainly through our annual "Swimarathon" sponsored event. Funds raised havebeen distributed to many local, national and international charities, projects and appeals. Thornbury Rotary is about much more than fund-raising, however.  We organ- ise various youth and educational events, including the annual "Youth Speaks" competition which is fiercely competed for by local Primary Schools. It provides transport for the elderly, promotes and assists local projects such as the new play area in Thornbury, and has recently joined with the Thornbury running Club to organise and promote an annual New Year Fun Run (and Walk!).
