President Brian Clements
welcomes you to the website of
The Rotary Club of Belfast

We were the first club to have been formed in the UK. Our first meeting was held on 24 July 1911 and a vibrant club has been in continuous existence since.

We are always delighted to welcome guests from
the world of Rotary.

The Club meets on Monday lunchtimes and Thursday early evenings
All details can be found on the Meetings page.

Our international President has given us our theme for the year.

To this theme I have added my own three words:

FUN TEAMWORK SERVICE

We have a challenging year ahead and we have an outstanding team of Officers and Service Chairs.
    o We must work hard to get to know each other better
    o We must inspire others to see our vision and come and join us and
            when they do we must make them feel welcome and get them involved
    o We must give service to our local community and to those whose need
            is greater than ours.
The full President's Message can be read here.

We are a dynamic Club of male and female members with a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. We are members of Rotary because we enjoy being members of Rotary - giving Service above Self whilst having fun!

We are actively looking to recruit new members.

We are looking forward to welcoming many more new members with new energy and new ideas and a dedication to help those less fortunate in our community and beyond. If you are interested in joining please contact our Honorary Secretary.

Rotary International President, Ray Klinginsmith, announcing his theme for 2010/11 stated that: "Rotary has both a distinguished heritage and a bright future...it is the clubs that address and alleviate the root problems of society and thereby make the world a better place..and it is the clubs that improve lives by Building Communities - Bridging Continents... Rotary is the best in the world at linking people of goodwill around the globe and then gaining their cooperation and support to make the world a better place to live and work...Together we can make the world a better place!"

At the end of his year, RI Immediate Past President John Kenny said: "These past 12 months have given me the opportunity and the privilege of observing firsthand how our service touches the lives of others, and how great are the needs we address."
