 Rotary International is a network of 1.4 million members in over 200 countries who take action to create change in our communities and across the globe.  Our mission is service above self, to promote integrity and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace.  Rotary is non-political and non-religious. There are no dodgy handshakes or ancient rituals.  In the Thames Valley alone there are 56 clubs; clubs that meet at breakfast, lunch or in the evening, on different days, with different frequencies, in coffee shops or online, so there will be one that fits your lifestyle. 

Misbourne Matins is a breakfast club.  We meet at Gerrards Cross Golf Club on Wednesdays from 7.45am for an 8am start and we are finished by 9am.  You can choose a full English breakfast, a Continental breakfast or just have tea or coffee.  Our meetings are hybrid so if you can’t get to us in person, you can join in on Zoom from home or the ski slopes or wherever you have a signal. Our membership of 35 is fairly evenly split between men and women.

We undertake work in the local community both on our own and in support of other local charities or organisations. We have fundraising events such as Golf Day, Film Night and a Bridge Afternoon.  At Christmas we have both static collections and take our Christmas Cottage around local streets collecting donations.  We take Pudsey into local schools and collect for Children in Need.  If there is an international disaster such as the war in Ukraine or the Türkiye/Syria earthquake we can raise money quickly and get it to Rotary clubs in those countries to use as needed.  We contributed to hospital generators in Ukraine as well as providing English language text books for refugees here and we sent Aquaboxes with community water filters to Pakistan after the floods. We fund boat trips on the Thames for people with disabilities and dongles for pupils suffering from digital deficit. We have a team focused on projects to benefit young people locally and one that looks at ways of improving the local community.

Our theme:
                MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY
Most importantly we have fun doing these things together and to support one another we also have social events which include friends and partners.  You can get a taste of what we do from the website and our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/misbournematins.  We are open and inclusive and would love you to come and join us for breakfast.
