What Do We Do?

Essentially, we meet on a regular basis and enjoy a good deal of fellowship. This can range from our regular Monday evening dinner meetings to day trips out, or even longer trips abroad. The more serious side of the club's activity is to either provide or enable the provision of help and assistance to worthy causes within a variety of deserving communities and organisations.

The club is divided up into committees, each with its own responsibilities. Every 6 weeks we make our regular Monday meeting a Business Meeting, at which each committee chairman reports to the club members on the progress of his or her committee.

Membership: This committee deals with the day to day running of the club, the recruitment of new members and the ongoing programme of weekly meetings and events, including booking speakers.

Fundraising: Without money, very little can be achieved and this committee have responsibility for organising fundraising activities to generate the necessary funds to finance the club projects.

Foundation: Rotary Foundation is Rotary International's own charity. The funds generated are used to promote international goodwill and understanding through a very wide range of humanitarian and educational projects.

Community & Vocational: This committee identifies and supports a variety of initiatives within the local community. They organise fun days out for needy children, provide assistance to local voluntary organisations and 

Youth Activities: Events such as the Technology Tournament, Young Chef and Youth Speaks are aimed at encouraging young people to participate and develop their abilities and self confidence.

International: Through links with other clubs around the world, this committee engage in a variety of projects, helping to establish medical clinics, provide equipment for orphanages, schools and hospitals in poor countries.

Twinning: Since 1995 we have been twinned with a French club, the Rotary Club of Maisons Laffitte, located about 20 miles outside Paris in the town of Maisons Laffitte. The two clubs are very similar in size and meet socially from time to time, both in France and in England.
