Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Carlton

Carlton Rotary Club is based in the Carlton area of Greater Nottingham, with boundaries stretching into the City of Nottingham and the Borough of Gedling.
Using the menu on the left, you can find out more about what we do. We are a part of Rotary International, which is the world's largest service organisation. All clubs have various committees each of which provide a different type of service, more information is available from the committees' pages.
If you are a Rotarian visiting the area, you will be made welcome at one of our meetings - check the venue and programme pages for further details.
The Club members include people from all walks of life. The area in which the Club is based is economically varied, bringing many challenges fulfilling the needs of the local people.
The Club performs a variety of charity and fundraising activities. The highest profile events are The Leukaemia Research Bikeathon which in 2009 raised over £40,000, the Christmas Float which regularly raises around £10,000 for good causes and The Charity Duck Race.
This year's duck race, on the 8th August, was held as usual at the Nottingham Riverside Festival and was organised in conjucntion with the Rotary Club of Trent Bridge. Ticket sales raised £14,000 which will be shared equally between the Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance and The Peter Le Marchant Trust. The Rotary Clubs of Carlton and Trent Bridge thank the people and businesses of Nottingham for their generousity in supporting this very worthwhile charity fundraiser. The Clubs would also like to thank Trent Cars for their sponsorship of the event. The first prize of a £1000 Sainsbury's voucher was won by Mrs Roberts of Bunny, Notts.
Mrs. Roberts is pictured below receiving the voucher from the Carlton Rotary president, Paul Hicking together with president Charles Moore of the Rotary Club of Trent Bridge.

Club President Paul Hicking is particularly keen to continue the work of previous Presidents, building meaningful and visible links with the local community. Much of this will involve working through local schools with projects such as helping with literacy and providing the funding and organisation to send children on Outward Bound courses.
As well as Social and Fundraising activities, the Club hosts three speakers a month to entertain and inform the members.
