Christmas Pud 5K
The Christmas Pud 5k is a festive family fun run along Stokes Bay on Sunday, December 7th to raise money for the Harbour Cancer Trust in Gosport.
This is not a race, but a fun-filled event – preferably in fancy dress – with a 5km run, jog or walk along the prom at Stokes Bay. We start and finish from the Bayside Cafe for a scenic, traffic-free loop around Stokes Bay with the picturesque backdrop of the Solent.
It will be the perfect start to the festive season, a fun, family event where every finisher will receive a Christmas pudding. There will also be festive refreshments on sale at the Bayside Cafe afterwards.
At the same time, you will be helping to raise money for the Harbour Cancer Trust, which is an independent charity offering practical and emotional support to anyone affected by cancer. It is the chosen charity of Gosport Rotary Club and the Absolute 545 RunClub who are organising the event.
Our current projects
Gosport Vintage Car Rally
Every August Bank Holiday weekend, the Rotary club takes over the playing fields at Stokes Bay to host a display of scores of vintage vehicles from across the region. Such is the event’s reputation, that the owners of a range of impressive vehicles head to the south coast each summer especially to take part in the show.
Rotary Shoebox Scheme
JOIN Gosport Rotary Club in bringing a bit of festive cheer by sending a shoebox laden with gifts to disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe.
Once again, we’re joining forces with the Wessex Rotary Shoebox Scheme to provide shoeboxes to children in Ukraine, Moldova, Montenegro and Romania
Rotary Foundation
Gosport Rotary supports The Rotary Foundation which is Rotary’s charity. All monies raised are transformed into projects which change lives, both close to home and around the world.
Youth Competitions
FROM local and regional heats, through to national finals, Rotary youth competitions are a great way for youngsters to be challenged in a fun and friendly environment, plus there are great prizes up for grabs too.
For many years, Gosport Rotary Club has been running a number of different youth competitions, working closely with schools in the area.
