THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Do everything with a good heart.
Don’t expect anything in return
and you will never be disappointed.

Club Council for 2026-27

Anne Moriaty (President), Warwick Aldham (1st Vice President), Graham Furnival (Immediate Past President), Francis Whitbread (Secretary), Bob Booker (Treasurer), David Axon and Keith Dabbs (Elected Members).

Our President welcomes you to the Club website and invites you to join members in the Fellowship of Rotary. in the past we have supported both local projects and projects overseas. This year we will be continuing our events for senior citizens, the local heats of Rotary Young Musician and our support for the Wilderness Foundation UK. We will also be focussing on 2027’s celebrations for the centenary of Rotary in Chelmsford.

Chelmsford Rotary Club is the original club in the city, formed way back in 1927. Since this time members have brought a richness of life to many people in the community and moved on with a broader involvement to incorporate numerous local and international projects. Rotarians offer their services in many different ways. If you have recently moved to the Chelmsford district and wish to put something back into the community, we can offer you an enjoyable and stimulating way of doing so.

We generally meet:

• on the first Thursday of the month on Zoom; and
• on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month for lunch at the Ivy Hill Hotel, Writtle Road, Margaretting, Essex, CM4 0EH

but this may vary from time to time. For the third and fifth Thursdays of a month check this website.

If you would like to attend one of our meetings please contact our Secretary, Francis Whitbread (see this page).
