Welcome
Our 2019 Charity Beer Festival will be the 4th year of this Annual Event
2018 saw 1100 people enjoying 2 days of our 3rd Charity Beer Festival and raised over £10,000
in 2018 we had 15 different Draught Ciders
and over 40 Cask Conditioned Ales and 2 Lagers
and not forgetting Prosecco (and soft drinks for non-drinkers)
Live music is well established at our BeerFests and "Arry & the Atstands" are regular performers
Beer and Carbs always go down well at a Beer Festival
The St Christopher's Hospice Fun Walk - next in May 2019 - was originally started by this Club
Twice a year we run an Antiques, Vintage and Collectables Fair at Hayes Free Church
Each year at Christmas we make a collection for local Charity at Tesco, Elmers End
3 times a year we provide Helmet and Leather Storage facilities at "British Super Bike" events
in 2018 we presented a new Storage Shed to the "Forest Fun Club", Bromley
Every year our 'Purple Patch' celebrating "End Polio Now" flowers in South Hill Woods
Next February, look out for our 'Purple Patch' and remember the Rotary campaign to "End Polio Now"
Our Club
We are a Club of around 45 men and women and have an active programme of meetings, charitable events and social outings. As Rotarians, our motto is "Service above Self", and our Club has been doing this since our Charter was granted in September 1975.
Rotary is also about fellowship. Our regular weekly dinner meetings provide an opportunity for members to enjoy each other’s company and to develop social relationships. Speakers are regularly invited to introduce a topic of interest for the members and provide the opportunity for lively discussions.
Many of our charitable events are run as social events, such Race Nights, Wine Tasting, a 50's/60's night, the Langley Park BeerFest, and Formal Dinners (in 2014 and 2016 we ran a Charitable Dinner with RC West Wickham and were entertained by speaker Simon Weston CBE). We also help with an Old People's Christmas day lunch party in Bromley, run regular Antiques Fairs in Hayes to support Charities including Bromley Deaf Access, make a Christmas Charity collection, provide (along with other Rotary Clubs) Marshalls for the St Christopher's Hospice Charity Walk (which as a Club we originally started), as well as other events to support for our local Community.

OUR MEETINGS
Like most traditional Rotary Clubs, we meet once a week. At our weekly Monday meetings we first meet for pre-meeting fellowship around 6.30pm, followed at 7pm by a three course meal and coffee/tea, which costs £18 each. Following the meal we often have a Speaker and/or deal with urgent Rotary business. Meetings normally finish around 9pm.
If you would like to join us for a meal please contact our Dining Steward by using the "Contact Us" button below and select "Dining Steward" as your Mail Category, so that it is directed to the correct person.

Anybody is a potential member of our Club, irrespective of gender, age, race, religion, or physical ability.
Rotarians are men and women who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. Each club contains a diverse group of people from the Community that the club serves. As a member of a Rotary club, you have the opportunity to give something back, to give hope to those less fortunate and to make lives worthwhile and fulfilled.
