The World of Rotary
Rotary is one of the world's leading membership and humanitarian service organisations, with 1.2 million members globally. Members of Rotary volunteer their time to make a difference in their local communities and around the world through projects which support education, fight disease, promote peace, provide clean water and much more.
Rotary is a networking organisation and this still plays a part in our life today. We provide the opportunity to expand personal and professional circles, meet new people and make lasting friendships, all the while having fun in the process.
Farnborough Rotary Club
Our Club was formed in 1959 and continues to be a vibrant and busy group of people. Our Members come from all walks of life and take part in a range of activities and events every year.
Annually, we arrange a number of events, some of which are well known and much loved by the people of Farnborough. Perhaps the most famous of are annual is the Donkey Derby, which takes place every year in King George V Playing Fields, usually on the late May Bank Holiday Monday.
Our ever popular Christmas Collections happen in December. Our teams of Members & volunteers turn out in almost any weather to walk many of Farnborough's streets, or to join our static collections at a variety of shopping centres and major stores in the area.
All of the monies collected at these events are donated to a wide variety of local, national and international charities that we support throughout the year.
Although a biennial, and not annual, event, who could forget Farnborough Rotary's MUSIC IN THE PARK. We'll soon be closing the book on this year's fabulous concert and in doing so, we'll confirm just how much we can add the £500,000 that we've already to the amazing Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.
We're also pleased to announce that early in 2024 we'll be starting to plan our 12th Music in the Park which will take place at King George V Playing Fields on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July 2025. Please keep the dates free and we will have more information for you in the Autumn of 2024.
The Club is always keen to grow its membership. We are open to applications from all age groups and all backgrounds. The application process is simple and quick so, if you're interested or just want to know more, please contact our Secretary, Peter Taylor, on
0300 772 7011 or complete the contact form on the "Join Us' page of this website.
