Club Meetings & New Opportunities

Our normal meeting venue is The Bell Hotel in Saxmundham. However, the hotel is under new ownership and will be closed for a period for refurbishment. As a consequence, we will not be able to meet at The Bell until further notice. A temporary venue is being explored but, meanwhile, we continue to meet via Zoom.

Please note that anyone planning to attend any meeting must pre book via the secretary. Regretfully, we cannot accept any visitors who have not given the secretary prior notice. 

Meanwhile, our sincere thanks to everyone for their understanding during this potentially difficult period and we hope to get back to 'normal' as soon as we can. 

Why not think about starting a new club with friends and colleagues.

Rotary is for everyone both young and old, men and women. You could think about getting together with people of your own age and becoming a group that gets involved in the local community, or overseas, with projects that can make a real difference to peoples lives. At the same time, having lots of fun. Equally, you don't have to adopt all of the Rotary structure or systems and can be a flexible and independent team that can rely on the support of the Saxmundham club, meeting when, where and how you like. Why not contact us to see how you could make this happen and what a difference you could make.

 Community Small Grants Scheme

 The  Community Small Grants Scheme, for people in our local area, has been in operation for some time and we have been able to help with financial support for some very worthy projects.

Please go to the 'What We Do' drop-down box and select 'Community & Vocational Projects' to get more details about the scheme and how to apply.

The Heritage Coast Run / Walk

Sadly, we have reluctantly decided that we can no longer run this annual event. The Heritage Coast Run / Walk has been hugely successful for almost forty years and raised well over £500,000 for a variety of   charities. It has been our Club's major fundraising event of the year as well as being a huge social occasion. We are currently exploring other opportunities to raise funds for the many charities and organisations that we are involved with. Meanwhile, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has either taken part or provided support during the last forty years and helped to make it so successful. Please see the Marathon page under What We Do for more information.
