The Rotary
Conference ’25
What’s on at
the Conference
On Friday evening watch the UK premier screening of “The Secret Marathon” directed by and featuring Devon born Rotarian Martin Parnell. As featured in Rotary magazines around the world, Martin covertly entered Afghanistan to encourage young women and girls to run in a secret marathon. This is their very moving story. Followed by Q&A with Martin.
On Saturday and Sunday speakers, young and old(er), will talk on their experiences. They will recognise and reinforce the importance of Rotary’s support for them. Pride, laughter and tears. Expect the unexpected.
On Saturday step outside and be part of our Youth Development Day: The ShelterBox Youth Resilience Challenge and The Youth Village. Take part in The Secret 3K walk. In the evening enjoy the Magic of Rotary at the Gala Meal and be entertained by Johnny Cowling and a table magician.
Package price £85 or pick and Mix.
