Summer Get-Togethers

The Club had a break over the summer with no formal meetings taking place. However, members greatly enjoyed 2 informal gatherings for coffee and chat in July and August at Malone and Royal Belfast Golf Clubs respectively. They were very enjoyable events and it was especially good to catch up with members who are not normally able to attend meetings in the Europa. Thanks are extended to PP Brian Clements for organising the events and to Bob Skelly and Hon. Secretary David Boyd the venues.

Pres Steven

It is a great honour for me to be again taking on the role of President for the Rotary year 2024/25. Being a Club based in Belfast city centre enables us to connect with the local Community, through service with YouthAction and Mitchell House, continuing our focus on peace and reconciliation projects and we also support key efforts to end Homelessness. Worldwide we support the fight to ‘End Polio Now’ and help some of the world’s poorest people work their own way out of poverty with dignity by investment in small business via the Lendwithcare scheme in many countries including Ecuador, Malawi and Cambodia. We recognise the tremendous amount of service already given by members but are looking forward to encouraging new members to join. Any prospective member is most welcome at any of our Monday meetings.

This year’s Rotary theme is The Magic of Rotary
and we hope that you will help us to expand our service and magic.

Ken Nixon, President 2024/25
