P.12How it works

Five steps, and the first one is just turning up

  1. 01

    Come to a meeting

    Saturdays, 4:30 p.m. No appointment, no invitation needed. Come and see what the club actually does.

  2. 02

    Meet the club

    Meet members, sit in on the business of the meeting, and see whether the room is one you want to be in.

  3. 03

    Find your classification

    Rotary asks each member to represent a trade or profession. If yours is not yet in the club, so much the better.

  4. 04

    Be proposed

    A member sponsors you, the board considers the proposal, and the club is notified.

  5. 05

    Induction

    You are inducted at a regular meeting, given your pin, and put to work.

·Volunteering

You do not have to join to help

Eye camps, health camps, blood drives and school projects all need more hands than the club has. Nobody will ask you to become a Rotarian.

Rotary talks about the four T’s: Time, Talent, Thought and Treasure. Any one of them is welcome, and the first is usually the most useful.

Tell us what you can offer
  • Help register and guide patients at an eye camp
  • Support a blood donation drive
  • Pack and distribute for Project Nora Dreams
  • Assist at a school desk or WASH handover
  • Offer a professional skill, whether medical, legal, logistics or design
·Questions

The things people actually ask

  • Do I need to be invited to join?

    Traditionally Rotary membership is by invitation, but you do not need to know a member to start. Come to a meeting as a visitor, meet the club, and if it suits both sides a member will sponsor you.

  • What is a classification?

    Rotary asks each club to represent the working life of its community, with members drawn from as many different trades and professions as possible. Your classification is simply the profession you represent. The club currently holds 48 of them across 112 members.

  • How much time does it take?

    The club meets on Saturday afternoons for about ninety minutes. Beyond that, members give as much time as their work allows. Most projects need hands for a day at a time, a few times a year.

  • What does it cost?

    Members pay annual dues that cover Rotary International and district obligations plus club running costs, and most contribute to projects and The Rotary Foundation on top. The club will give you the current figures when you visit; we do not publish them here.

  • Can I volunteer without becoming a member?

    Yes. Health camps, eye camps and school projects always need extra hands, and you do not have to be a Rotarian to turn up and help. Write to the club and we will tell you what is coming up.

  • I am under 30. Is there something for me?

    Yes. The club sponsors two Rotaract clubs for people aged 18 and over, and two Interact clubs for secondary school students. Ask us and we will point you to the right one.

Ask about joining

Tell us a little about yourself and what you do. Someone from the club will write back.
