Our Club
|
We run a very open, relaxed and informal club that is welcoming to All. The Rotary Club of Westbourne is not only about raising money and supporting the local and international community - it is also about meeting new people, developing friendships and having fun.
Club meetings and socials are organised under the banner of the Rotary Club of Westbourne but its charitable activities are overseen and carried out in the name of Westbourne Rotary Trust Fund CIO with the charity registration number of 1197774 During the year, our club members enjoy many social and sporting occasions with fellow Rotarians and their partners, which develop long-term friendships with like-minded people. |
Meet the President: Laurie Keane
President of Westbourne Rotary for the year 2026-2027 is Laurie Keane
Laurie has been a Rotarian for a little over 10 years, first in a French club in District 1690 (Aquitaine) and then in Westbourne in District 1110 in Dorset. Although retired from a long career in military and civil aviation, he keeps very busy. A keen sailor, YouTuber, tech-dabbler, DIYer and park-runner, Laurie ‘thinks’ a great deal younger than his years, and loves a challenge and a bit of managed risk.
He sees this year as an opportunity to serve his club and to continue the modernisation program of recent Presidents, which has made Westbourne the sort of club that everyone feels welcome in.
If you would like to know more about membership of Westbourne Rotary or would like to become one of our Business partners, or a Corporate member - we would love to hear from you and tell you more about membership of this great organisation. Just contact us via the contact form on this website or email our club secretary directly via [email protected]
