Rotary Wareham helping the community whilst having fun and meeting people !

We meet twice a month at the Springfield Country Hotel  on Tuesdays from 7-15pm. 

The Rotary Club of Wareham was chartered in 1972 and is very much a fun loving club made up of male and female members, with the common theme of friendship and providing service to the local community and wider support to Rotary International initiatives worldwide, such as Shelter Boxes and the eradication of polio.

We meet at the Springfield Country Hotel in Wareham, where we can catch up with friends, and meet visitors and guests who are always made most welcome by the membership.

Together we can make a difference.

Further information on the club can be found on various pages on this website, but if you wish to contact the club click on "Contact" at the bottom of this page and someone will get back to you as soon as they can.

The tents are sturdy and have been used for years in some parts of the world after previous disasters. Last year shelterboxes were sent to the Rotary Clubs in Turkey and Syria to house those in need in light of the emergency following the series of earthquakes.
