Welcome to the web site of the Rotary Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh; we meet every Tuesday evening - subject to occasional scatter visits - at the Senior Common Room, Reading University. Our meetings start at 8pm and our President - picture left - always looks forward to welcoming our visitors from 7:30pm in the bar.
What is Rotary - Founded in 1905 Rotary is an international voluntary organisation consisting of over 1.2 million men and women worldwide who co-operate as a global team to alleviate or resolve suffering, hardship and deprivation regardless of race, religion, culture or political inclination. Complementing this commitment to local, national and international service, Rotarians live by a code of high ethical standards and carry the creed of international goodwill and peace throughout all aspects of their personal, business and community lives.
As for Reading Maiden Erlegh - The Club
was formed in September 1988 and its Charter was presented on 16th
May 1989; it is
one of
seven
Rotary
Clubs in the
Reading area
and originally had 37 founder members - the membership is currently
54. The emblem of the
Club - pictured right - includes a water wheel commemorating the old
flour mill which stood on the site of the present Reading Moat House
Hotel at Mill Lane, Sindlesham and a black swan which was once a
regular visitor to the nearby River Loddon.
