 The Rotary Club of Windermere in the Heart of the English Lake District

What do we do?

Many people ask what Rotarians do. The answer is never very simple because all the different Rotary clubs and their members do different things at different times.
Above all though, you may be sure that they enjoy what they do and they have fun doing it.
All Rotary clubs have committees which arrange the events and social happenings which may or may not be related to raising funds for particular charities.
Generally speaking there are four committees which you will find in all clubs and our club has all four. Each has a separate page which you can visit by clicking on the committee link at the left.


It may surprise you to see what our club is proposing to do in this new Rotary Year which started on 1st July. For your information and inspiration these are our intentions:

To support these charities:

The Rotary Foundation, SightSavers, Shelterboxes, Jubilee Sailing Trust, Hope and Homes for Children,  Water Aid,   Life Education Cumbria,  Aquafilters,  Mosquito Nets,  Manacare, Alzheimers Society, Great North Air Ambulance, Wheelchair appeal

To organise these fund raising events:

The Golf AM/AM,  Windermere AIRSHOW 2008,  Carols Evening,  Trolley Dash,  Charity sponsored walk,  Foundation Cruise,  Wine Tasting Evening,  Gardeners Question Time,  Orchestral Concert, 

To involve young people in:

Youth Speaks,  Young Writer,  Rotary Youth Leader Award,  Rotary Youth Technology Tournament

And for our members fun and enjoyment:

Our Annual Charter Anniversary Evening,   Millennium Trophy Competition,  Grey Games, Bowls against local clubs,  Golf and snooker competitions,  District and National Conferences and of course, our regular weekly meetings.

Does that sound as though we are just old fogies meeting for a meal?  Would you like to join us?
