WELCOME TO
Winchcombe Rotary Club
Winchcombe Rotary Club was formed in 2015 with just eight members. Today it is a thriving club with over 30 members. The members come from Winchcombe and its surrounding areas. Everyone is welcome to join. We welcome all ages, both singles and couples; currently about half of our members are female.
We hold meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. The first meeting is usually a Speaker Meeting where we invite a range of Speakers to inform/entertain us. The Speaker meeting is preceded by a meal in the Corner Cupboard in Winchcombe. The second meeting is usually our Monthly Business Meeting where we deal with matters related to running the club and its activities. Both Speaker and Business Meetings are held in the Winchcombe Conservative Working Men's Club..
Our aim is to raise funds to donate to charities and needy causes and also to be involved in community projects and, importantly, to have fun doing this.
ABOUT
The membership of Winchcombe Rotary Club is a diverse group of individuals who have come together to enjoy being involved in the community of Winchcombe.
Fundraising for Charities, Community Service and Social Activities are the key items on our agenda and our aim is to grow and expand what we do.
As we all have many demands on our time, members are free to chose their own level of involvement with the clubs activities. For some membership is purely social but for many it's a lot more.
