welcome
to our club website
The
Rotary Club of Lutterworth Wycliffe is one of two active clubs in Lutterworth
and around 31,300 clubs worldwide in 166 countries and geographical regions.
Rotary’s 1.25 million members worldwide share the common objectives of fostering
high moral standards in business and the professions whilst, at the same time,
initiating and supporting community service projects locally, nationally and
internationally.
The Rotary Club of
Lutterworth Wycliffe meets on Monday evenings (except Bank Holidays) at 19:30
for dinner at the
Greyhound Coaching Inn, Market Street, Lutterworth,
Leicestershire. Our parent club,
The Rotary Club of Lutterworth,
also meets at
The Greyhound Inn, High Street, Lutterworth on Mondays for lunch at
12:30. Visitors are very welcome at both clubs, however, if possible, advance
notification of your attendance would be appreciated so that meals can be
arranged.
Rotary is also about fellowship. The regular weekly meetings held by the Rotary
Club of Lutterworth Wycliffe provide an opportunity for members to enjoy each
other’s company and to develop business and social relationships. Speakers are
regularly invited to introduce a topic of interest for the members and lively
discussions usually follow.
Within Rotary, we often speak of 'The Family of Rotary' and Lutterworth
Wycliffe Rotary Club is strongly orientated towards the full integration
of our families in our activities. There are regular events where
partners and families may join in. Strong friendships and bonds develop
between members and between families.
Associated closely with that of fellowship is the idea of service to the
community. This takes several forms including fund raising and active
participation in community projects. This may be something as simple as
providing marshals for the town Feast Week. At other times, members provide
helping hands in community projects such as creating a garden play area for
recently orphaned children, altering a rear entrance door so that someone of
limited mobility may regain access to their garden, taking disabled people shopping or
for a fun day out, or raising much needed funds for a hospice caring
for children with life-limiting illnesses. At an international level, thanks to
the active and significant financial participation of Rotarians all over the
world, the scourge of Polio has all but been eliminated by the World Health
Organisation. Rotary, through local clubs such as Lutterworth Wcyliffe, is
active worldwide in disaster, poverty and famine relief.
Generally, membership of Rotary is by invitation. However,
men and women
of any age, race and physical ability are welcome to attend our meetings
(other than business meetings which are for Rotarians only). Our
meetings and affiliations are non-sectarian and non-political. We are
more than pleased to discuss membership with those who feel that they
may have something to offer our community through membership or in
conjunction with Rotary.
