We are all volunteers. Like-minded people who want to put something back, and enjoy the way Rotary achieves that. The women and men in our club span wide ranges of age, professions, skills, knowledge, contacts, interests – a great mix for getting things done. Rotary is a truly international organisation with over 30,000 clubs operating in over 130 countries. We genuinely welcome diversity.
We operate in the communities of Honiton, Cranbrook and Ottery St Mary and their surrounding villages, Otter Valley Rotary have 23 members, and many “Friends of Rotary” who offer to get involved & help with events and projects. We have club members and friends living in most areas that we serve, and with that localised network we can stay close to understanding what help is needed where.
Our meetings are a mix of business discussing future fundraising events, considering requests for funds, speakers from various organisations or Friendship evening where we just have fun.
Secretary: Caroline Thornton
