Welcome to the Rotary Club of Oadby which was chartered in 1962 and currently has 30 members.
The 2025/2026 Rotary Year sees some major changes in the way our Club operates.
The Rotary Club of Oadby will revert to being a lunchtime club meeting every Thursday (12.00 for a 12.30 start) at Glen Gorse Golf Club.
At the same time the Club has sponsored a new Companion Club. Impact Oadby & Wigston will meet in the evenings (6.00 - 7.00) on the first and third Thursday of the month. We are currently meeting at The Grange Farm in Oadby but please check under "Happening soon.." on this page as venues may change. Impact Oadby & Wigston is an integral part of the Rotary Club of Oadby and starts with 11 members from the existing Club and one new member (see above).
Both groups are looking to attract new individual and corporate members.
Our club is part of the worldwide organisation that is Rotary International. 1.2 million neighbours, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the world.
We have been active in the local community of Oadby for over 60 years running our own projects and supplying volunteers and funds for those run by other organisations in the community.
We also have a great track record in the completion of health and education projects in Africa and India.
