A talk and a tour of Camden Place after dinner

Remembering Napoleon III

Napoleon III was exiled to England and lived in Camden Place (now Chislehurst Golf Club)

Chislehurst Rotary Club are hosting Angela Hutton**

to give a talk and a tour of Camden Place after dinner.

** Angela is a semi-retired Management Consultant who has been a social member of Chislehurst Golf Club for over 40 years.

She has spent the last few years researching the history of Camden Place, both the historic and architectural heritage.

Part of that fascinating history is of course the story of Napoleon lll.

As we approach the 150^th anniversary of his death in January 2023 she has been sharing that story with interested groups.

During his lifetime, Napoleon III:

Staged 3 coups d'états'
Was deported once (to America)
Exiled twice

Survived 4 assassination attempts
Imprisoned twice
Started four wars

After a talk about Napoleon III’s journey to Chislehurst, Angela will be joined by two colleagues to take small groups, who are interested, on a tour of the house.

Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Chislehurst, a very lively, active club of which I have the honour of being President during the year 2023-2024.

This year we will be doing our usual Xmas Collection from Monday 2th December to Friday 13th December. At weekends we will be at Ruxley Garden Centre on 30th Nov/1st Dec and 8th/9th and outside Sainsbury's 8th/9th.

Throughout the year the Club makes a number of Donations. Details of which are shown below.

The Chislehurst Christmas Market is on Sunday 24th November. We will be there with our sledge and a free raffle of 2 Hampers!

Since 1967, the Chislehurst Rotary Club has been a source of enjoyment to its members and the local community.

Our members enjoy an active social programme and the opportunity to help others. The Rotary Club encourages service to the community both locally and internationally.

Areas of Rotary Service

Rotary Clubs operate within areas of service - to their local, national and international communities and to the Club itself. The service areas within our Club are: Community; International; Foundation (Rotary"™s charity organisation); Club; and Social.

Community Service is the Club's link with the local community. Emphasis is placed on links within the immediate Chislehurst area, where substantial efforts and contributions are made to help local charities and to undertake projects to help those in need.

We are a small, but enthusiastic, Club with a strong commitment to helping those less fortunate overseas; ensuring that any aid is provided where it is needed and managed locally so that all funds are used wisely and effectively.

The Rotary Foundation is a world wide charity whose aim is to support the efforts of Rotary International in its mission to achieve worldwide understanding and peace through local and national humanitarian, educational and cultural support programmes.

The Club Service Committee works with our elected Club Council to ensure, as far as possible, the smooth running of the Club

The Social team (a sub-committee of Club Service) deals with all the social aspects of the Club. If we can raise some money for charity, then that is an extra bonus!!
