And hopefully more on the day.
The Rotary Club of Exe Valley is very proud to be able to organise the Uffculme Show.
Uffculme located centrally in the Culm Valley with its river that feeds into the Exe. So too could the people of the Culm Valley be associated with Exe Valley Rotary and the wider Rotary International Organization. The largest membership organization in the World. Offering "Service above Self " as it's moto. Almost every one knows of the work of "Shelter Box" originally organized by the Helston Rotary Club. But not so many are aware that Polio has virtually been eliminated around the World by the efforts and dedication of Rotary International and the funds raised by Clubs, like ours, all around the World. That is just two of the international campaigns of Rotary. On a more local basis we at Exe Valley support the Tiverton Hospital (and the Friends of), Childrens Hospice South West and many other local causes. To see more of Rotary click on the Link at the foot of this page.
Any profits from the Uffculme Show will be managed by the Exe Valley Rotary Club. The funds will be distributed to worthy causes both locally and further afield
We really hope you come along and enjoy a pleasurable country activity day. Set on a south facing field looking across the beautiful Culm Valley. All we need is your company and some fair weather.
