About us

We hope that you find the information on our website of interest.  We are looking for new members to join us and to help keep us invigorated.  You can join us as a full member if you are looking to help put something back in our community.  We meet four times a month, but there is no commitment to attend every meeting.  Another option is to join as a Friend of Rotary.  You will be kept up to date with what we are doing, we just ask that you are willing to help in any of our community or fund-raising events.  Yet another option is to join as a corporate member.  An individual in your company would become a full member and your company would be able to identify up to four other company members to attend any meeting they wish.  Corporate membership also have the benefit of being able to attract tax savings as well as free access to a wide range of business training courses that are relevant to many areas of work.  We hope that some of the information below will help.

Anton Rotary was formed in 1994 and is based in the town of Andover in Hampshire. The club is a registered charity and many of our fund raising and ‘hands-on’ activities are focused on assisting other charitable organisations. The club usually undertakes a major project each year which involves all members in either fund raising or physically contributing to improving the quality of life of some group within the community. Pictures and details of the work undertaken will appear on our club blog. The archived attachment catalogues the activities of the club and its members throughout the recent years.
Fund raising to support other charities came to the fore during the first Covid lockdown. Many charities found themselves short of food and the means to support their clients. Anton Rotary provided financial support to a number of organisations in excess of £14,000, during that period.
The club runs annual events to raise funds while also providing entertainment and community support. These include Duck Racing on the Anton River in the Town Mills Park., Metal Detecting weekends. Live music events, Christmas collections and raffles.

Anton Rotary believes in the importance of fellowship and fun linked to useful work. We meet each Thursday evening at The Oak in Smannell, our diary page details the next few months activities. Anton Rotary welcomes both men and women into membership of Rotary International.
