Oakham Santa Fun Run organised by the Rotary Club of Rutland in association with Oakham Town Council Video and Photographs

Oakham Santa Fun Run organised by the Rotary Club of Rutland in association with Oakham Town Council.

was held again this year, on 4th of December 2022  

This event allows everybody to have loads of fun and to get in the Christmas spirit.

It also gave an opportunity for local charities, schools and individuals to raise monies via sponsorship for their own good causes and for those of Rotary.

This event was held in conjunction with the Oakham Town Council Christmas Fair so a good day out was assured.

Santa's enjoyed mulled wine and mince pies when they had completed their run.

The Rotary Club of Rutland was founded in 1950 as the Rotary Club of Oakham, and changed its name in the early 1970s when the Rutland county name was under threat. The membership has always reflected a wide diversity of local residents with a commitment to ‘Service Above Self’ and the desire to put something back into the community.

Rutland Rotary is a very social club as well as supporting charitable causes. They always looking for new members, both men and women, who can help with their work as well as having fun.  Please get in touch via the contact their page if you are interested in more details.

Oakham's War Memorial at All Saints Church was re dedicated today for the future marking its centenary.

I found on Twitter today Oakham's War Memorial at All Saints Church was re dedicated today for the future marking its centenary. 

The Lord Lieutenant of Rutland Dr Sarah Furness placed some roses.

Its a shame there appears to have been no publicity about this event, so Oakham residents could have attended. 

I have been told there was a mention in the Rutland Mercury last week. The article incorrectly states it is a memorial for Rutland's fallen and cost £900. It cost £1000 and is a memorial to over 100 Oakham's fallen.

One hundred years ago the church yard was overflowing with residents when the war memorial was dedicated.

It is such a shame Rutland County Council appears to do nothing to protect our historic buildings.

The Ram Jam is now open to all who are pulling it apart.
