Our club currently has over 40 members and meets on a regular basis on Wednesday evenings, 7.15 for 7.45pm, for dinner at Seasons Conference Centre in Swindon Village just north of Cheltenham; there is normally a speaker or a business agenda on these evenings.

Our key objectives are to have good fellowship and to put back values into our local and international communities. To ensure involvement with the Club’s activities all members serve on one of the Club’s Committees.

Fund Raising
Over the last six years our Club has generated charitable funds of over £250K through its two main fund raising activities:
The Cheltenham Circular Challenge: An annual sponsored Walk/Run event around Cheltenham held in June.
The Prescott Hill Classic Car Event: An annual event held in May at the Prescott Hill Climb.
Members themselves are not expected to contribute to charity funds.

Social
In addition to meeting on Wednesday evenings, a range of social events are organised throughout the year and include Celebratory Dinners, walking, bowls, skittles, golf, and many others . Our club is twinned with the Rotary Club of Chantonnay et Bocage Vendéen in France; we have developed strong friendships with our twin club and visit each other in alternate years for a weekend of fun, activities and renewed friendships.

Community & Vocational
Cleeve Vale supports a number of local projects, our current programme including:
We seek to maintain a Club tradition built up over many years of providing a balanced programme of support to a wide spectrum of community activities. Recently we have supported local schools with a Handwriting Competition, Mock Interviews, a Young Achiever’s Award, and a Young Chef Competition, and we have installed Life-Saving Equipment (Defibrillators and Oxygen Respiration kit) at Cleeve School.   We have provided funding for a Cardiac Rehabilitation DVD for patients after heart surgery. We have run a Carol Concert for the local elderly, and have donated to local charities, including Life Education, Free Wheelers, Maggie’s, The Winchcombe Day Centre and numerous others.
In 2010 we will continue to focus on:  the Young, Youth, Families and the Aged. We encourage those charities and organisations, at the local, county and national level, that seek to help themselves to grow under their own efforts. We aim to work with and support key foci in our local community, including the parish Church and local schools, and in areas of support for the sick, the healthy, environment and the arts.
We welcome any suggestions for new areas of support
See our Community & Vocational Web Page for details of current projects
