ROTARY CONNECTS THE WORLD is the new and inspiring international theme for 2019-20.  

District 1040 Governor Manoj Joshi says:

 "Not only does Rotary connect with world but we also need to Connect and Unite better with each other as Rotarians and Clubs in sharing best practice and Take Action as a result.

We are involved in and are part of projects in the local community and on national and international projects.

Carrying out these activities develops both friendship, understanding and a sense of community, as well as beng fun.

Come along to one of our meetings to find out more!

We meet on Monday evenings (except Bank Holidays) to discuss ongoing and upcoming activities. If you can make it, you can meet up beforehand for a meal with other members.

We look forward to hearing from you.
