Hello and welcome, you’ve found SETTLE ROTARY on the web.

We're a friendly bunch of around 20 people who volunteer in the Settle community, working on projects and raising money, as well as enjoying informal social activities throughout the year. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, we’d like to meet you.

We're also part of a much bigger organisation, with a warm welcome in every city and the capacity to make change on a global scale - such as eliminating Polio.

 If you think you might be interested, please browse our website to get a better feel for what we are about, view the video at the bottom of this page and maybe use some of these links.

This ever popular event raised some £1840 for last year's chosen causes. This year the price is remaining the same at £20 for a 3 course meal with each course being in a different pub. There are 13 pubs this year and you don't discover which ones you will be going to until the start at Giggleswick School Dining Hall at 6.45pm on Friday 21st February 2020. There you get a free glass of wine and the chance to buy a raffle ticket for some great prizes before setting off at 7.15 for your first course, next course 8.15 at the second pub and dessert at 9.15 at your last stop.

This year all the money raised will be going to Settle Swimming Pool.
