New Meeting Venue and Meeting Arrangements

During lockdown restrictions, we continued to meet regularly each week via zoom but from 24th June 2021, we have decided to adopt a mixture of face to face breakfast meeting with others via zoom -
On the 1st and 3rd Thursday, you will now find us having our regular breakfast meeting at the Miramar Hotel in Bournemouth, with the additional reduced cost option of drinks only, whilst on the 2nd and 4th Thursday, we will meet virtually via zoom and you can supply your own drinks. 
When there is a 5th Thursday in the month, we will be having an evening social get together instead. 
To find out more about a particular date - just contact our club secretary for more information at info@westbournerotary.org.uk

If you are not a member of Westbourne Rotary Club but would like to find out more about your Rotary club and what Westbourne Rotary is doing, then please get in touch with us at info@westbournerotary.org.uk and one of our members will contact you with further information.

In this time where Covid lockdown restrictions are easing, there is bound to be uncertainty, with many members of our community and members of our club having had to self-isolate, this is still gives Rotary the perfect opportunity for Rotary to do what it does best – help the most vulnerable people in our community.  Do you want to help your community - come and find out more about Rotary.

Feed a Family for a Fiver

Together, we've already provided 15,000 meals to families, homeless people in temporary accommodation or moving into permanent accommodation, as well as asylum seekers and refugees in the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch area.  Now we're looking to the future and need your support to feed another 12,000 people over the next year.

What is Rotary?

Rotary International is a global network of volunteers, whose primary goal is to help others.  It is the world’s largest service organisation and membership is open to everyone.

Each Rotary club operates independently to help those in need and clubs also participate in large-scale projects undertaken by Rotary International.  

Rotarians get involved in their club’s activities as much, or as little, as their time will allow.

Benefits of being a Rotarian

  • Be connected to your community
  • Join with others to address local needs
  • Interact with other professionals in your area
  • Assist with worldwide humanitarian aid
  • Make new friends and contacts through an international network of people
  • Develop leadership and organisation skills
  • Be part of a global network

Are you a potential Rotarian?

  • Is helping others  more important than your own self interest?
  • Do you enjoy informal networking and socialising with like-minded people?
  • Can you help those less fortunate than yourself at home and abroad?
  • Do you live in the Bournemouth, Poole or Christchurch area?
  • Do you empathise with the Rotary motto, "Service above self?"

If so, the Rotary Club of Westbourne is the place for you.  Why not come along to one of our breakfast meetings and find out for yourself?  Contact our club secretary at info@westbournerotary.org.uk to arrange a date to come to a meeting.  We look forward to meeting you soon.

But there's much more...

Our regular weekly club meetings, whether face to face or via zoom, mean that you have the opportunity to develop long-lasting friendships with other Rotarians.

Every Rotarian is able to attend any club meeting in the world, so there is always somewhere to go and new people to meet, wherever business or personal travel may take you.

With each member contributing their time and expertise, it is truly amazing what can be achieved to make a difference to someone, somewhere, somehow.  Being a Rotarian can be incredibly fulfilling.
