Amwell Rotary Club

Amwell Rotary Club is part of the worldwide fellowship of Rotary Clubs that makes up Rotary International.

Rotary clubs are firmly based within local communities, with their members meeting on a regular basis to enjoy friendship, networking, and to plan projects that will benefit the lives of others.

We work to give something back to our communities - locally, nationally and globally.

We always welcome enquiries from like minded people who want to find out more about us, about who we are and what we do.

Weekly Meetings

Amwell Rotary Club meet each Monday (Bank Holidays excepted) at 6.15 pm for 7:00 pm sharp at

The Salisbury Arms Hotel

Fore Street

Hertford

SG14 1BZ The Salisbury Arms Hotel, Hertford

What happens at meetings?

Usually we will have a speaker - although roughly once every two months we will hold club committee meetings. Following committee meetings, we will then have a business meeting a week or two after.

The fellowship we enjoy over a meal or a beer and a chat, and the friendships that grow from that, reflect in the service projects we undertake and the other good causes that we support each and every year.

Interested?

Then why not CONTACT us to arrange to come along to one of our meetings as our guest?

Where is Amwell?

Great Amwell is a small village in the county of Hertfordshire, England, some twenty miles North of London.

When Amwell Rotary Club was formed, the name was chosen as being pretty much at the midway point between the three already existing Clubs - Hertford, Ware and Hoddesdon.

Now as then though, our membership is mainly drawn from the larger towns and villages in the surrounding area.

Rotary Children's Fun Day

Amwell Rotary Club took part in this year's Rotary Children's Fun Day, held on June 11th.

A party of children and teachers from Middleton School, along with a group of Amwell Rotarians, enjoyed a fabulous day at Hertfordshire Zoo - complete with a ride on the Rex Express and ice creams to cool down.

Thank you Vic!

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Vic Hobson to our meeting on April 14th. Vic has just stepped down after 20 years as the CEO (And founder) of local charity Mudlarks.

This charity has done amazing things for the local community and we, as a Rotary Club, are pleased to have supported them. That is why we are honored to have presented Vic with a Paul Harris Fellowship award

Thank you Vic - and enjoy your next adventure!

Polio Eradication

We believe that the world is on the brink of seeing "the very last case of polio"

Rotary International has been focusing on eradicating the disease for over 30 years.

Eradicating the last few cases is a big challenge as they are in countries where transporting and delivering the vaccine is often disrupted by civil war, conflict and local hostility

Despite this, the number of cases is falling dramatically due to fantastic work from Rotarians around the world.

The Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation marked it's centenary in 2017.

An endowment fund, set up by Rotarians in 1917 with an initial contribution of $26.50, became a not for profit corporation known as The Rotary Foundation in 1928.

Upon the death of our founder, Paul Harris, in 1947, a massive influx of Rotarian donations made in his honour - totalling some US$2 million - launched the Foundation's first programme, graduate fellowships, later to be known as Ambassadorial Scholarships and now Rotary Global Scholars.

Today, contributions to the foundation total more than US$80 million each year and support a wide range of humanitarian grants and educational programs that enable Rotarians to bring hope and promote international understanding throughout the world.

July is: -

Transitions Month

On July 1st each year Rotary Clubs and Districts across the globe induct new leaders.

Our leaders exemplify all of the qualities that make our members extraordinary: integrity, expertise, and commitment to service. Serving as a Club or District officer or committee member provides an opportunity to enrich your leadership skills by sharing experiences and ideas with other Rotarians throughout the region.

July is also 'Bring a Friend to Rotary' Month.

Who do you know who would enjoy Rotary?

The Rotary International theme for the 2025-2026 year is "Unite for Good".

This theme encourages members to leverage the power of human connection to create positive change and address community needs through service projects and collaboration. It emphasizes the importance of unity in a world often divided by various factors.
