About us

              THE ROTARY CLUB OF HUNTINGDON CROMWELL  



Huntingdon is one of the four principal towns in the District of Huntingdonshire, the others being St Ives the home of the Chapel on the Bridge, St Neot's the largest town in the County of Cambridgeshire and Ramsey which was built up around the gate of Ramsey Abbey.   The Club adopted its name from Oliver Cromwell who was born into a family which was for a time one of the wealthiest and most influential in the area.   Educated at Huntingdon Grammar School, now the Cromwell Museum, and at Cambridge University, he became a minor East Anglia landowner who made a living by farming and collecting rents. It was the civil wars of the 1640s which lifted him from obscurity to power.
The Rotary Club of Huntingdon Cromwell meets at 7.15pm on Mondays (except Bank Holidays) - at The George Hotel, George Street, Huntingdon, Cambs PE28 3AB.   Visitors are welcome and should contact the Club Secretary, Lawrie Cooke, on 01487 830114 by 9am on the Friday.

The Club has over the past 10 years donated £150.000  to international, national and local causes. For a full list go to DONATIONS_AND_AWARDS_UP_TO_2018_3.xlsx and DONATIONS_AND_AWARDS_UP_TO_2023.xlsx .     This money has, in the main, been raised through the efforts of Club members who have embraced the Rotary ethos of 'Service Before Self'.   We welcome new members and if that could be you please visit the "Contact" section of the website and get in touch.   For a flavour of the day to day workings of the Club please goto: WELCOME_TO_THE_WORLD_OF_ROTARY_NOVEMBER_2020.doc
