Can you help us?

  • We need additional sponsors . If you are interested email tim@tpjones.co.uk and he will forward you a sponsorship package and answer any questions.
  • We also need members. There are a number of ways you can get involved. Please don’t think of Ripon Rowels Rotary as a posh boys dining club we are anything but that. We even have a club president whose prepared to parade through the streets of Ripon dressed as a toilet in aid of a good cause. As well as the official stewards safety officers etc you will also see Rotary club members wearing tabards. Stop and chat to us. There are two clubs in Ripon both meet on a Tuesday one at lunch time and one at 7pm
