Rotary International was founded in Chicago Illinois by Paul Harris in 1905 and now has a worldwide membership of more than 1.2m Rotarians in 33,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas.
The Rotary Club of Southgate was chartered in 1925 and currently has a membership of 18 men and women who meet for lunch every Monday at 12.30pm in a private room at the Jolly Farmers, Enfield Road, Enfield, Middlesex, which is in Greater London, England.
In this site you will find information about our club and Rotary International and details of the many service projects that we carry out each year, both for the local community and internationally.
Before the 1930s Southgate was a sparsley populated area. In 1933 the Piccadilly Line extension to Cockfosters heralded a property boom and the population grew exponentially. The iconic Grade 2 listed stations shown above were designed by Charles Holden. Photos courtesy of Mark Moxon
The club is closely linked to the Inner Wheel Club of Southgate.
The benefits claimed by most Rotarians for their membership of a Rotary Club are "friendship" and the "opportunity to put something back into society".
Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities.
If you would value the benefit of giving something back to your local community, and would enjoy doing it with a group of dynamic leaders in business and professions, contact us and introduce yourself. Click HERE for more details.
During 2010 we lost two valued and much loved members and in their memory, President Peter has decided, in our fund raising efforts, to include charities that they were involved with. Our charities for 2011/2012 are: Rotary ShelterBox, Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, Rotary KidsOut Day, Alzheimer's Society & WaterAid.
Rotary has any number of projects for the next generation of Rotarians, to find out about Young Rotary click HERE.
