Hello and welcome, you’ve found SETTLE ROTARY on the web.

We're a friendly bunch of around 20 people who volunteer in the Settle community, working on projects and raising money, as well as enjoying informal social activities throughout the year. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, we’d like to meet you.

We're also part of a much bigger organisation, with a warm welcome in every city and the capacity to make change on a global scale - such as eliminating Polio.

 If you think you might be interested, please browse our website to get a better feel for what we are about, view the video at the bottom of this page and maybe use some of these links.

SETTLE ROTARY CLUB is based in and around the picturesque market town of Settle, in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales, an area noted for its glorious scenery. More about Settle.

Santa Claus is back in town!! . . . .and villages!

Yes, once again we will be assisting Santa in his attempt to visit every child in North Craven before Christmas Day.

He will be in his Grotto in Settle at the Lights Switch-on on Saturday 1st December and then spend the next 3 weeks visiting as many houses as possible round the area. (click here or on Santa's beard to download the full timetable.)

Thanks to the generosity of Craven people he raised some £5230 for local good causes last year and we hope to beat that this time around!

Breathe -Thursday 7th June - 7.30pm Vic Hall

RESULTS LISTS

HOG ROAST _ SUNDAY 1st JULY 2018

We were blessed with excellent weather and at least 150 people enjoyed a relaxing Sunday in the shade of a large marquee eating the wonderfully tender hog roast supplied by Adrian Procter and the delicious puddings provided by members and their partners. The Settle and Giggleswick Brass Band were on great form and also Clive and Spencer on vocals and saxaphone - there was even some dancing! With a raffle and a well stocked Bar the event raised £1752 for Cancer ResearchUK -we have  given this charity £5500 this year.
