detailsAbout us

Cirencester Rotary Club Rotary is a local club for local people who want to make a difference.
Rotary's motto is "service above self" and that is the bond which ties together the members of the Club. Members give their time to a range of fundraising activities enabling Rotary to support charities in the local area and to help people abroad when disaster strikes.
The Cirencester club was founded in 1929 by people seeking to help others and each other; today it has the same ideals for all its members, both men and women. Members meet regularly (most Wednesday evenings) at the Royal Agricultural University.
Cirencester Rotary Club is part of Rotary International which has a worldwide membership of some1.2 million members; there is an international Charity, The Rotary Foundation which is rated as one of the top five not-for-profit organisations in the world and is heavily involved in the End Polio Now international campaign.
Please take the time to look at what we do and, hopefully, what we can do for you!Mark Wilton - Cirencester Rotary Club President 2020 - 2021.

Dr Gill White
She will give a talk about Mary, Queen of Scots. How she became monarch at six days old and by the age of 25 had lost three Kingdoms, three husbands and would never see her only child again. Whether she is to be seen as a murdering adulteress or the innocent victim of all that befalls her, Mary’s life is undoubtedly wrapped in tradedy. This talk explores her remarkable story and looks at the causes of the failure that led to her execution.

He will give a talk, A Decade in Gascogne. The speaker and his wife bought, renovated and enjoyed many years a cottage in the heart of this spectacular area of South West France. Typical of the speakers style of presentation, there are many amusing stories and anecdotes concerning the characters we encountered. The history of the area of Gascogne will be covered during the talk, after all the flamboyant D’Artagnan was reputedly born in this region.
