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.

Santa Claus has had a successful year 

Yes, once again we have assisted Santa in his attempt to visit every child in North Craven before Christmas Day.

He saw some 180 children at the Lights Switch-on in his Grotto and then spent the next 3 weeks visiting as many houses as possible round the area. Thanks to the generosity of Craven people he raised some £5230 for local good causes.

Merry-go-Round -£2148 raised for Cancer Research UK!

This year's Merry-go-Round was described "the best ever" by many who took part. 234 people met at the start in Giggleswick School Dining Hall, by kind permission of the School, and after a raffle, drink and a lot of socialising, everyone set off for the 3 pubs, out of the 11 taking part, that master planner, John Diggles, had sorted for them. Thanks to a dry night and excellent work by the pubs it all went like clockwork and people enjoyed an excellent choice of menus and a great atmosphere. 

Many thanks to the pubs, Boar's Head, Courtyard, Craven Arms, Craven Heifer, Gamecock, Hart's Head, Helwith Bridge, Italian,Knight's Table, Maypole and Talbot.

Next year's event is provisionally booked for Friday 22nd February 2019!
