On Friday 30th March 2012, Cheltenham Sparks Rotary Club held a "Gameshow Night" to raise funds for Rotary Charities.

Over £400 was raised on the night, which will be distributed between various charities including:

• West Oxfordshire Vetka Association, which supports schools, hospitals and sustainable developments in Vetka District in Belarus - the place in the world worst affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
• Dream Days - a Cheltenham based charity that provides magical days out for deserving individuals who don't usually get opportunities to have days out.

The games included:

Sunday 5th February saw the Cheltenham heat of the Young Musician Of The Year held at Dean Close school.

Cheltenham Sparks provided refreshments in the form of tea and cakes and in doing so were privileged to hear some very talented young musicians perform.

The finals are to be held on Friday February 19th at St. Michael Hall, Dean Close School. The performance will begin at 18:00.

Saturday 23rd July 2011 saw the Sparks meet-up at Cotswold Riding for the Disabled Association. Charlie, Genevieve, Jeni, Martyn, Michelle, Rebecca, Rob, Sandi and Simon were joined by Mo Begg from RDA, Maggie the dog and several younger helpers, who shall now be known as the Rotarettes. Thankfully the weather was good as the team spent the day applying wood preservative to RDA's stable block and sheds.

More photos from the day can be viewed in the gallery.

Cheltenham Sparks Rotary club held its Charter Night on 4th March 2011 - less than a year after the formation of the club began. The evening began with the Sparks and their guests gathering at The Queens Hotel.
