Speaker Meeting - Paul Davies - Chesterfield Satellite Club

Thu, Mar 28th 2019 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm


Club members please log in for more information.

Paul Davies, a member of Chesterfield Satellite Club, gave us the following details on what a Satellite Club is, and how to set one up.
"The main message for prospective members is: Give what time you can afford, meet lots of like-minded friends, have a great time socialising and helping others in the community.

The Satellite is entirely self-governing including elections and induction of members The Satellite members are responsible for payment of their dues to the sponsor club, which will forward those dues to Rotary GB&I and District.
The sponsor club is able to count the members of the satellite club within its membership numbers and will remit to Rotary GB&I the semi-annual dues.
There are no preconditions regarding who can join other than they are adult persons who have goodwill in their hearts and will subscribe to and are described by the RI/Rotary GB&I Standard Club Constitution and Bylaws, 2016
There are no preconditions regarding location, content or timing of meetings, dress code or projects. These items are under the control of club members
Once a Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Council are elected, they are responsible for the general running and development of the club, with
light touchguidance from members of the sponsor club, when requested.
The satellite might comprise of local business people, Rotarian transferees, Rotarian and other spouses, women, local young adults wishing
to make a difference, homebuilders, etc., who might not otherwise have the opportunity of joining Rotary.
The Satellite is a separate entity from the Sponsor. It has its own projects, officers and members. The members of a Satellite have no jurisdiction over management of the Sponsor.
Once the Satellite club membership reaches 20, it is presumed it will seek full membership of RI, as a fully Chartered Rotary Club and pay dues directly to Rotary GB&I”.
