About us

The Rotary Club of Skipton has existed since 1930 and has a membership of around 50 men & women.  New Members are always welcome, indeed essential, to maintain a thriving club.  Putting it simply, Rotarians are volunteers, trying to do good in the community, whether locally or abroad, and proud to be of service.  Locally we are involved with community and environmental projects around 'Craven' and give grants to deserving young people, local charities, clubs & organisations.

However, Rotary is also a Global Organisation with perhaps the largest charitable status 'out there' and helps throughout the World wherever needs exist and help is required.

We meet and enjoy a meal together over a period of around 2 hours each Wednesday evening (from 5.45pm) using a private function room at the Tempest Arms, Elslack, Nr Skipton, BD23 2AY  (01282-842-450)  / after which we discuss Rotary Business and plan our activities.  Usually we have talks and presentations on all manner of interesting topics
