about our club |
| For many years, the Chislehurst Rotary Club has been a source of enjoyment to its members and encourages service to the community both
locally and internationally. Members enjoy an active social programme and the opportunity to help others. The Club normally maintains a membership of around 40. Currently, about 20% of the members are women, the Club having elected to move to dual
gender
membership some years ago. Fellowship is the keystone of Rotary and hence weekly meetings (on a Monday evening) are the focus of our activities. Members attend regularly and share a meal. This is followed by a short presentation from a speaker most weeks. Once a month we hold a business meeting after the meal to ensure our activities on fund raising and our various avenues of service are on track. Several times a year we hold guest dining evenings when members invite partners or friends to join them. Our four main fundraising events over the year are:-
We normally raise at least £20,000 each year with our efforts. We support the 'Friends of Rotary' initiative and currently have thirteen 'Friends', as well as four Honorary Members. We have founded and support an active and enthusiastic Chislehurst Interact Club - at Coopers School - for (hopefully) future Rotarians, currently in the 14-18 age range. Chislehurst Rotary Club was founded in 1967 as the Daughter club of Sidcup Rotary Club, by our Founder President Len Cross. Len, a retired Bank Manager, is now over 90 years of age, but remains an active Honorary Member of our Club. Membership of the Club is by invitation only, generally to those who live or work in Chislehurst or an adjacent community. We are multicultural and non-denominational. If you think you may be the sort of person who could both contribute to and benefit from Rotary membership, please contact us to arrange for a number of visits to the Club as our guest so that we may explore this further. If you are in the 18-30 age range and not yet at the level of professional achievement where you would expect to be considered for membership of a Rotary club, but would like to get involved in Rotary activities on a regular basis, you may wish to consider Rotaract.
