Rotary Club of Ilminster

About us

Welcome to The Rotary Club of Ilminster. Everyone welcome to visit and learn more.

We usually meet at the Shrubbery Hotel, Ilminster.

The main meetings are on a Wednesday, starting at 6:30 pm and ending by 7:30 pm every 2nd & 4th Wednesday per month.

Participation afterwards is optional which could include having something to eat, having a drink or just a friendly chat.

Where - Station Rd. Ilminster, TA19 9AR, England.

After fifty-four years with good levels of membership, two months ago the Rotary Club of Ilminster came very close to closing. Does that matter? Well perhaps not to many of you but the service this Club has given to its close community would have ended.

What does our Rotary Club do? The answer is many things, for example supporting young people with Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA), giving practice interviews to year 11’s at Wadham School, running children’s public speaking competitions, listening to young children read and giving dictionaries to older primary school pupils.

We are also helping people all over the world by raising money for Rotary’s promise to eradicate polio together with past involvement with numerous projects in India, Egypt and Ukraine - all of the above whilst enjoying each other’s company and gaining lots of personal satisfaction.

A few of our old members and their partners have now joined together to strengthen and continue these services and good work but we do need more people to support us.

Are you about to or have you recently retired? Could you spare a minimum of about an hour twice a month? Would you like to put something back into your community? Do you enjoy meeting new people? Are you new to our area? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, please accept my invitation to visit our Club and see what we are about. Contact me on jcwconsultancy@hotmail.com
