ROC WELCOME CLUB (PREVIOUSLY TRURO GATEWAY CLUB) We have worked closely with this club over the years since it was formed in 1984. We always look forward to cooking their barbeque, each July, almost as much as the members enjoy eating the food prepared! We also help by supplying and manning the registration tent for their ROC 5K race in June, one of their major annual fundraisers. http://www.roc-uk.org/news/roc-welcome-club-truro-annual-bbq
