Northampton Rotary Club celebrated 100 years of service in our Community and Internationally in 2021
In 1921 A.E. Marlow became the first President of the newly formed Northampton Rotary Club. The Club’s foundation, sixteen years after the movement’s beginnings in America, was reported in the Daily Chronicle for Tuesday 31st May 1921 under the headline ‘Luncheon and High Ideals in Business: A New Organisation’. First Club Officers appointed.
The Chronicle for Tuesday 19th July reported that the Club held their
first regular lunch meeting at the Exchange Café on Monday 18th July, by when they had about forty Members and the Rev. Canon Thompson Elliott from the parent Club in Leicester gave a talk on ‘The Aims and Objects of Rotary’. They left, apparently, having accidentally failed to pay for the drinks!
The first Charter Meeting was on Wednesday 1st February 1922 Club No 1073Centenary events were planned through the year.
