About us

Welcome to Rotary in Severn Vale.

News: Our next Club Car Run event for Vintage, Classic & Interesting Cars is now planned for 1st September 2024

Welcome to our home page. We hope you find something of interest here.

We have our face-to-face Breakfast meetings on our usual schedule of 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 7:30am

From our President

"Fulfilling the Promise; Making a Difference".

We are a club of around 24 professionals meeting twice a month for breakfast and between times to socialise, have some fun and contribute to making the world a better place.

As Rotarians, we each have the ability to make a difference; in our club, our local community and in the bigger worldwide community. 

If you want to make a difference too, contact us through the links on this page. 
We would be happy to welcome you for breakfast; come and see what we're like.

President of the Rotary Club of Severn Vale

    June 2023, following a visit from Jim Currie,  District 1100 Governor: The meeting “was lively, entertaining and you sensed a really good relationship amongst all the members”

    August 2023 following a visit from Daniel Chun, Caring for Communities  and People ( CCP):  “I have had the pleasure of spending time with several Rotary clubs in the past but I dare say yours was the most close-knit and engaged”.
