The Rotary Club of Wallasey was founded in 1928 - the first on the Wirral peninsula - and has given continuous service ever since to the community and beyond.

Nestling in the North East corner of the Wirral, Wallasey’s history traces beyond the Doomsday Book (in which it is mentioned) to Viking times.  Rotarians visiting the club, however, are assured of a friendly and hospitable welcome from its 40 or so members who play an active part in the local area as well as the District.  The list of charities helped in the past (see Community Service Committee report at the side) will give a flavour of our work which also entails fun and enjoyment as a prime ingredient.

 

Probably the most well known service was the annual Wirral Show which started thirty three years ago as a Community project to resurrect the ‘Wallasey Carnival’ with decorated floats parading through the town and finishing on the promenade in New Brighton.  As it became more difficult to arrange for the floats, the stalls erected at the end of the parade took greater prominence and by this time the event had grown too large for the club to manage on its own.  In a unique venture, the service clubs of Lions and Round Table joined the club in organising and running the event in partnership with Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council.

 

The 2009 Show featured  the incredible Lings Motor Cycle display team and many other acts.  Follow the link above for further information.
