What is Rotary and how do I join?

What is Rotary?

What would it take to save the world?

Rotary was the world's first service club organisation and has no political or religious affiliations. It  is made up of individual clubs, organised and run by its members and now has more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who use their skills, energy and experience to make a real difference to others by supporting projects both locally and around the world, whilst having fun together and making new friends. 

Rotarians come from a range of backgrounds and are ordinary people trying to do extraordinary things and who join for various reasons.

The Severn Trow

The Severn Trow was adopted as our emblem when the Club was formed.  It depicts the working boat that plied the River Severn after which we are named.

Our Club

Formed in 1983, we are a very active Rotary Club, supporting local, national and international causes through a programme of fund raising. We also have a very active sporting and social calendar.

Our club of 56 members meets weekly at the Hallmark Hotel in Matson, in the evening, and our ethos is based on the three core principles of fun, fellowship and fundraising. We have a wide variety of interesting speakers, as well as Vocational talks from some of our own members.  Why not come along and hopefully join us?  You would be made very welcome.
