R.O.G.C'S BAG PACKING DAY AT MORRISONS We managed to secure a day assisting the lovely people of Rochdale in a bag packing event at Morrisons Supermarket, Kingsway.  This took place on Saturday 30th September, 2023. We needed lots of volunteers, and lots of volunteers turned up. Lots of bags were packed.  Lots of people were helped out with their shopping, and following the generosity of the members of the public for our efforts, and all the generous people who donated to our Just Giving Page we raised a massive £1508.89 towards our fundraising target.   MASSIVE THANKYOU TO ALL CONCERNED FOR YOUR EFFORTS WITH THIS. MUCH APPRECIATED BY ALL AT TEAM R.O.G.C.

R.O.G.C'S FUN DAY IN THE PARK Saturday 29th June, 2019 saw the Great British Weather on our side for a change.  Although it may have been a little bit too hot!  The fun day on the Brownie Field went down a treat with lots of stalls, tombolas, raffles, cakes, biscuits, hot dogs, drinks, fun and games for all the children.   Our "Springboard Group" sweated it out throughout the whole day and did an amazing job entertaining everyone.   And at the end of a long, hot day - we raised a massive £600 towards our Fund Raising Target.   Huge well done to everyone involved and thankyou to all those who attended to join in the fun.

We all have that stuff lying around that we think we will do something with, but never quite get round to doing anything with it! You know what we mean – the stuff that clutters up cupboards whilst you try and work out what to do with it, then forget it was ever there! Well, we may just have the answer to your problem in what to do with it, and raise some funds for the club in the meantime!! You may have seen that we have a recycle bin in the kitchen – this is not your average recycle bin we hasten to add! – but one that welcomes items such as: Jewellery (includes out of date costume jewellery – most of us have some of that lying around, don’t we!), watches, old games consoles, laptops, mobiles, video cameras, iPods / MP3 players, ink cartridges, stamps and currency – even if no longer in use! There is a full list in the Springboard notice board in the kitchen – have a look and see what you can come up with, whilst giving your house a bit of a spring clean! Hopefully this will help our gymnasts, gymnasium and our own homes! Thank you all in advance!
