Visitors and Rotarians are very welcome.
 
Welcome to our vibrant and relaxed Rotary Club, where community spirit thrives alongside a sense of ease and camaraderie. Picture a place where laughter mingles with purpose and friendships are forged through shared experiences and meaningful endeavours.
 
Above are the star performers from our Club who organised the District 9815 Inaugural Changeover. This was one of those events where you find yourself in a room full of 300 strangers, but you are already friends just by saying hello.

President's Rumblings
The beaconsfield club was rocking to the sounds of the 80’s as a hardy group of club members attended the Rewind 80’s night. 
A fabulous night was had by all as we recalled some of the classics of our younger days.
It was great to be able support Vicky and Bob who always look after us at our weekly meetings.
In the absence of a club meeting this week we held our first formal board meeting off the 2024-25 year. Look forward to news of upcoming events in the coming weeks.
After much deliberation on the proposed sign to adorn the boundary fence at the Beaconsfield Football we now have a design. Come along for as sneak peek at next week’s meeting.
Thanks to Trevor for continuing to push this one along. Hopefully at a meeting in the near future we can hold a grand unveiling.
 
At our next meeting, our first formal meeting for the Rotary year we have an amazing guest speaker, Sally Beard from Backpacks 4 Kids.  
Please do yourself a favour and come along to hear Sally’s presentation about the outstanding work this organisation does.
 
Cheers,
Andrew

We are pleased to announce our ongoing partnership with the Rotary Club of Berwick 🙌🙌🙌.
The Rotary Club Of Berwick successfully applied for a community grant with us to fund a new BBQ trailer that will be made available to local community groups to support fundraising initiatives.
Rotary clubs bring together people across generations who wish to create lasting change in their communities, and in themselves.
We see our support of the Rotary Club Of Berwick as a win/win for us, our partner and the community.
We are looking forward to seeing pictures of the completed trailer! …………Community Bank Beaconsfield District
