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.

Rotary International

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.

There are more details about Rotary membership HERE

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 1BZThe 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 

Vic Hobson and President Andrew

Thank you Vic - and enjoy your next adventure!

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Thanks to the generosity of those who attended our Carol Service at Haileybury in December of last year, we were able to donate £1000.00 to the Hertfordshire branch of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

The Magic of Rotary

RI President's Theme 2024 - 2025

Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick announced that the 2024-25 presidential theme is The Magic of Rotary and calls on members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives.

“Don’t misunderstand me – we are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand and saying some funny words. It’s up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member.”

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.

End Polio Now!

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.

STOP PRESS!

Thanks to dedicated @Rotary members, health workers, donors, local & national leaders, and partners, the @WHOAFRO region is officially wild polio-free!

African Region certified wild polio free

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.

The Rotary Foundation - 100 Years

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.

June is: -

Rotary Fellowships Month

June is designated as “Rotary Fellowships Month” to recognize the importance of international fellowship and good will among Rotarians with similar recreational interests, vocations, and health and medical issue-oriented interests, to promote increased participation in fellowships and increase understanding of this program.

Rotary Fellowships Month

Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.

Thank You Everyone!

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to the Ware Fireworks on Saturday November 2nd 2024
