Warwick Rotarians have chosen July for the return of their annual Thai festival and are keeping their fingers crossed that the path out of lockdown continues.

Working with partners Magic of Thailand and Warwick Racecourse, the Rotary Club is calling on the Thai community to return and have 'a great day out' at their 16th Thai festival.
