About us

 

 

 

Welcome to Cookham Bridge Rotary Club

Our club usually meets at The Odney Club, Cookham, on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays of each month. Occasionally dates vary, so visitors are advised to confirm with our secretary before attending. Upcoming activities and events can be found under the “Happening Soon” section. If something catches your interest, simply drop us a line at secretary@cookhamrotary.co.uk

Meetings begin at 7:15 pm, but from 6:45 pm our President for 2025/26, Diana Phipps, will be in the bar ready to welcome visitors. This is a relaxed opportunity to meet members, make connections, and find out what Rotary is all about.

We are always delighted to hear from potential new members of all ages, backgrounds, and professions. Cookham Bridge Rotary Club offers a friendly, informal atmosphere, with the chance to give back to the local community while being part of Rotary’s global network. A typical evening includes a drink, a meal, plenty of conversation, a touch of club business, and often a guest speaker for added interest.

We pride ourselves on being open to new ideas, and fresh perspectives are always valued. If you’re curious, why not join us one Wednesday and see for yourself? If you’d like to stay for dinner, please let us know by 12 noon on the Friday before so we can confirm catering.

For your privacy, enquiries are not stored in any database. They may be held temporarily by the recipient until your query is resolved, after which they will be deleted and never shared with third parties.

About Cookham and the local area
Cookham Bridge spans the River Thames between Berkshire and Buckinghamshire (once Wessex and Mercia), linking the communities that support our club. The village of Cookham is a historic Thames-side gem, first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1068 as Cocheham. Highlights include the stone church of Holy Trinity (possibly dating back to 750 AD), recent archaeological discoveries of an 8th-century monastery, and the renowned Stanley Spencer Gallery on the High Street. Visitors will also find welcoming pubs, restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining, and a variety of charming small shops.

Across the river lie the villages of Bourne End and Flackwell Heath, both offering further shopping and dining options. For more about the area, visit www.cookham.com.   To view a brochure about the Club click on this link
