The Rotary Club of Godalming
Nanette Summers, President 2026 - 2027
New Focus - New Plans - New Challenges

"Welcome to Rotary in Godalming.
As we celebrate our 90th year in Godalming, we'd love you to join us and bring your ideas, enthusiasm and energy to help make a real difference in our community.
This year, my focus for the Club is Supporting Young People in Godalming. We will be working alongside the fantastic charities already making a difference locally, supporting their projects, organising fundraising events, taking part in their activities, and raising awareness of the invaluable work they do.
Throughout the year, we will be proudly supporting organisations including Surrey Care Trust, Green Hub, Skillway and The Meath, helping to strengthen opportunities for young people across our town.
Together, we can achieve even more for the next generation."
Nanette
The Godalming Club has around 40 members who attend either our weekly lunch meetings or our monthly Breakfast Meeting. Some attend both! So I am sure there is a choice of meetings to suit everyone.
West Surrey Golf Club - Tuesday Lunchtimes (12.30 for 13.00)
Every Tuesday around 15 members meet for lunch at The West Surrey Golf Club, in Milford. We meet at 12.30pm for lunch at 1pm which consists of a main course with coffee and mints. Sometimes there will be a speaker, and on other occasions we talk about the projects, both local & international that we are working on.
The Ragged Robin, Guildford Road, Godalming - 3rd Friday of the Month (7.15am for 7.30am)
On the third Friday in the month around 25 members meet at 8.00am for Breakfast The Ragged Robin in Godalming. About half of the "breakfasters" also go to other Rotary meetings and the rest are people able only to find time for a monthly breakfast but equally committed to the ideals of Rotary.
Kings Arms, Godalming - 1st Thursday of the Month (7pm)
We also meet for a Drinks Night @ 7pm on 1st Thursday of the month at the Kings Arms, Godalming.
