The Rotary Club of Ringwood was started in 1947 and the Founder President was Ted Harvey the licensee of the St Leonards Hotel, who was already a member of the Poole Rotary Club. By 1947 Ted considered there was enough interest in Ringwood to form a club of ite own, so with the blessing of Poole Rotary Club, Ted became the first President of Ringwood Rotary Club. The club met every Tuesday at 1 pm at the Crown Hotel, where members enjoyed lunch followed by a speaker before returning to their various occupations. In those days almost every one of the 23 members was a well known local businessman or professional.
