St Albans Verulamium
When Rotary first started in St. Albans the founding club was called simply - the Rotary Club of St. Albans. It first met and has continued to meet at lunchtimes and attracted local businessmen and professionals. However St Albans is a commuter town and many prospective Rotarians wanted to give service to the City of St Albans, but attending a lunchtime meeting was just not possible. So our club, St Albans Verulamium was formed in 1976 to meet in the evenings. To distinguish ourselves from the "Mother" club we added "Verulamium" to our name.

Rotary is changing. Two new clubs are being formed.The first is essentially an E Club drawing members from a wider geographical area with members who wish to serve the community can join. It will be project based and members will come together to plan and execute their ideas. It will be called Hertswood.
Traditional Clubs like Verulamium are not for everyone. Members are of a mature age. We want to support a new group of younger professionals and business people who want to do things their way and create a new paradigm following the Rotary simplistic model of - SERVICE ABOVE SELF This dynamic group is planning to call themselves. THE CENTURIONS and will be given every assistance from our Club.
In essence, belonging to a Rotary club is an enjoyable and organised way to make a contribution to one's own community. There is a club for you in St Albans each with its own character. If you are interested you could visit them all. Joining Rotary is by invitation so new "prospective" members attend meetings so that we can all get to know each other.
