  About Us

The Rotary Club of Sturminster Newton, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2004, is a small friendly group of responsible individuals, drawn largely from the local business and managerial community, committed to helping those in need and in improving local facilities whilst, at the same time, enjoying the friendship and company of like minded people. There is a wide range of age and experience amongst the membership which currently totals 27.

What is Rotary

Rotary is the short name for Rotary International (RI), a worldwide organisation of locally based clubs whose members help to support good causes and the disadvantaged, both in their own, local or national community and the wider international community.

Each Rotary Club is independent yet operates within the Rotary International Constitution. Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) has its own governing body and constitution.

What does Rotary do?

Rotarians meet regularly, usually weekly, for fellowship and to share a meal before discussing the affairs of the club, or listening to a guest speaker. There is frequently a varied social programme in addition to these regular meetings.
Whenever a fifth Tuesday in the month occurs we are joined by our wives and partners for a special event organised by our social committee.
