Welcome
Our Club
We are a Club of around 50 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 Rotary Clubs, we meet once a week. At our weekly meetings we have a three course meal plus coffee, which costs £17. This is followed by our Rotary business and a lot of good fellowship. 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.

Join Rotary
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.

Stroke Awareness Day 2019
'Over half of all strokes can be caused by high blood pressure', and it is estimated that over five million people across the UK don’t realise they have raised blood pressure, because often there are no apparent or unusual symptoms.
The Stroke Association and Rotary International are joining forces again this year to help raise awareness of one of the biggest risk factors for stroke:
- high blood pressure
And as part of this initiative, we are inviting local residents and visitors to spare a few minutes on Saturday 13 April to take a free, simple, quick and painless Blood Pressure Test as part of the annual “Know Your Blood Pressure Day".
Testing will take place:
- from 9.30 am until 12.30 pm on Saturday 13 April 2019 in the St Francis Church Hall, Ravenswood Avenue, West Wickham, Kent BR4 0PW
If you are away from the area on the day of the tests, simply ring and ask your Doctor about a test.
