This page lists all the significant events that are due to be held in the forthcoming months - that I know of. It was set up at the request of the club presidents to attempt to avoid any clashes. The bonus is that it gives everyone a chance to see what is coming up. If you are a Rotarian in Northampton and your event is not listed then please tell me and I will gladly add the details. If you want any more info on anything you see here I suggest that you use the tabs above to go the website of the respective club where, hopefully, there will be more details.

Rotary was founded in 1905 in the USA by a young lawyer from Chicago, Paul Harris and a few fellow business people, who got together in a spirit of friendship. It came to the British Isles six years later. The movement has now spread to over 160 countries (there are only 192 worldwide), with more than 32,000 clubs and over 1.3 million members. All Rotary clubs have one basic ideal - the "Ideal of Service", which is thoughtfulness of and helpfulness to others.

We endeavour to apply the following maxim -

The 4-way test

Of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
