Who can join Rotary?
Men and women from a broad range of professional, managerial, community based or business ownership backgrounds. Most important is the passion to serve the community and help others in need. One of Rotary’s great strengths is the diversity of members from all different ages and walks of like with a combined goal to make a difference.

How do you join?
In the past membership to Rotary was generally by invitation only but today we welcome many visitors to our meetings as that’s the best way to experience what Rotary is all about and whether it is right for you. A new member prospectus is available free when you attend one of our weekly meetings which is also a good opportunity for you to get to know our members. There is an application process as it’s important that like minded people with strong core values and high ethical standards are accepted as members.
What’s in it for you?
The Rotary experience is built on volunteering, service, friendship, business networking, personal development and FUN.
Community Connection
Rotarians are active in raising funds and supporting projects involving health and education and the development of young people – in their neighbourhood, nationally and internationally.
Friendship
A strong sense of camaraderie develops through a variety of club activities. Rotarians stand together in good bad times. Lifelong friendships are often formed.
Networking
Everyone needs to network. Each club has a membership drawn from all walks of life. Rotarians support each other as well as helping those in need.
Personal Development
Through activities, responsibilities and opportunity, Rotary promotes personal growth in social skills, public speaking, leadership and motivation.
Fun
Rotary is FUN! All meetings have a fun element – and there’s never a dull moment when people with a common purpose pull together in support of a worthwhile cause.
