About us

The Rotary Club of Aylsham is a group of people who meet twice a month to have fun whilst helping communities both here and abroad.  We have a great variety of social events throughout the year and work hard to both raise money and contribute to the local, national and international community. Great friendships grow from working and socialising together.

Geoff Sadler 2025/2026 Club President

July 1st marks the beginning of new Rotary year and is the time when we elect a new President for the Rotary Club of Aylsham. 

Aylsham Rotary Club is a small, but very friendly club which is very commited to the local community and manages to achieve a huge amount through the hard work and community spirit of all its members. With the generousity of the people of Aylsham and district, we manage to raise a lot of money each year to support local, national and international good causes. Most importantly, we are a COMMUNITY club and our ethos over the years has moved more and more to working with the community to improve, support and sustain the excellent work done with people across all age groups.


President Geoff writes:

"I'm looking forward to a fulfilling and enjoyable time as President of Aylsham and District Rotary Club - this time for two years. But first of all I must thank Les Chant for his extended time as President.

We are a relatively small Club but nonetheness are very active and, in addition to our fund-raising activities, we have ambitions to work more closely with other local community organisations in the coming year. More information and news on this will be on our website, on social media and in Just Aylsham as our plans evolve.

Rotary is not just about raising funds, such as for the fight against Polio, as we also support local community groups but we think we can do more. So during my Presidency, I have four aims:

1. To make the Club more attractive to potential members, increasing membership and helping       retention.

2. To work with a wide range of local community groups to encourage greater working together.

3. To improve communications.

4. To make the Club more energetic and more fun for those involved.

And I recognise that many of these challenges are the same challenges facing other local organisations.

So I hope we will be able to work together in the future - as a member of the Club, as a helper or as a partner in another community group."
