Following the success of joint events over the last few years, the Rotary Club of Swindon and Swindon Cricket Club are holding another Charity Fun Day on Sunday 9th July 2017. The event is going to be hosted at Swindon Cricket Club, which is one of the Country’s oldest clubs and is located next to the STFC Stadium, just off County Road.

The day will include all the Fun Day favorites spread across more than 30 stalls, including: face painting, fairground stalls, craft stalls tombola and vintage cars. Running alongside the fun day stalls there will also be ‘All Stars Programme’ (5-8 year old’s) cricket matches (12:30-13:30) and a Wiltshire Ladies T20 match starting at 14:00.
A BBQ will also be running throughout the day, the bar will be open and soft drinks will be available.
