Welcome

Club Number 1376
Rotary District 1190

A greeting from our president
Rotarian Ray Thornton

I am proud to be the first of the founder members of this club to become President for the second time.

We are a small vibrant club. In this current Rotary year we, in conjunction with Appleby Rotary Club, have issued the ‘Cross Fell Challenge’ to all businesses, Rotary Clubs and local organisations to sponsor a ShelterBox. In return you will receive one night’s accommodation in a tent on top of the highest fell in the Pennines with an evening meal and breakfast cooked by a chef. The money donated will pay for an individually identified shelter box.

Our involvement in the local community is much appreciated. Some of our projects include: - assisting the local council maintain some of its parks amenity areas as well as providing bingo callers at a residential home, Christmas presents for the over 80’s and organising our annual 23 miles Yomp.

We have an increasing membership and we share an abundance of good humour and fellowship at our Tuesday evening weekly meetings at the Black Bull Inn, Nateby, Kirkby Stephen. Guest and visiting Rotarians are always welcome.
