REGULAR ANNUAL EVENTS
BANSTEAD & SUTTON NONSUCH ROTARY CHARITY WALK (8.5 miles)
​
Our charity walks have been a great success, raising many thousands for walkers’ favourite charities.
​Sponsors are able to give online or using sponsor forms in the old fashioned way. For those who find the task of getting sponsors a little too onerous, some just choose to walk and make their own donation.
​
We are delighted with the response to our walks when there are so many sponsored events - each competing for the pounds in our pockets. However, we have been making sure we get the word out and about by using social media and local press to remind everyone about our Charity Walk.
The walk is fully marshalled so that road crossings are safe. Once the organisation is in place, the more walkers we have the better we love it
​
YOUTH COMPETITIONS
Banstead & Sutton Nonsuch Rotary works with local schools and youngsters take part every year in our youth competitions which in most cases take the form of local and regional heats followed by a national final. The majority are categorised into junior, intermediate and advanced age groups.
Young Chef
Cooking amongst young people is a valuable life skill. Sponsored by a local school contestants prepare and present a meal within a pre-set budget and time limit, which is judged by an expert.
Youth Speaks
We encourage speaking and presentation skills in young people and this competition showcases superb quality speakers.​
BANSTEAD VILLAGE FAIR​
​
Banstead Village Day with the Village Fair is held on the first Saturday of July each year in The Orchard in Banstead High Street (In front of All Saints Church). Show your support and have fun!
This is a 'traditional' Village Fair organised by Banstead & Sutton Nonsuch Rotary with over 30 local organisations and charities running their own stalls or sideshows to raise funds. This includes attractions such as cakes, preserves, books, crafts, bric-a-brac, tombola, competitions and much more. The fair is an opportunity for charities and voluntary organisations to promote themselves and raise funds for a great variety of projects, and for members of the public to enjoy themselves and contribute. The Fair is opened by the Mayor of Reigate and Banstead.

MONTHLY SPEAKERS

​Banstead & Sutton Nonsuch Rotary normally invites two speakers a month to meetings, one from a charity, and the other on matters of general interest and intend to run several purely social and fun events each year as usual.
Banstead & Sutton Nonsuch Rotary is a very friendly Club and is always pleased to welcome non-members to their meetings.
