Would you like to experience a different culture and make new Rotary friends?  This is possible if you volunteer to take part in a Rotary Friendship Exchange.

District 1010 currently have invitations to visit and host a number of Districts including Australia (New South Wales), USA (New York State, New England and California), Sweden, Russia, New Zealand and Southern Africa.

What is involved in a Rotary Friendship Exchange?
On an exchange visit you will get to stay in Rotarians houses, enjoy their hospitality, see their community and Rotary in action as well as experiencing the scenery and cultural activities of another part of the world.

What exchange visits are current?
Currently we have no Friendship Exchanges to report.
