As a Shropshire eisteddfod celebrates its 60th anniversary, our Rotary club is making its eighth annual donation to the popular event this Saturday (March 18). The Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club’s latest donation of £400 to Minsterley Eisteddfod will support all children’s classes with prize money as well as two other older children’s musical competitions.
At the handover of the Rotary cheque, Mary Stott, on behalf of Minsterley Eisteddfod, said: “We can’t thank Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club enough for their continuous generosity which mostly benefits our very younger competitors. The Rotary support assists us in encouraging young people to participate in many activities from writing to performing in an endeavour to improving their skills.”
Said Shrewsbury Rotary Club president Fred McDonogh: “The Minsterley Eisteddfod is performing a fantastic job in support of young people and Rotary is delighted to be able to support them. Rotarians also attend and enjoy the competitions.”
