Founded on the 13 June 1989, the Wiveliscombe Rotary Club is known within this district as blending informality with the fulfillment of the Rotary objectives.

We meet at The White Hart Hotel in Wiveliscombe on Monday evenings at 7pm, where we enjoy an excellent meal together. We wish to ensure that all members enjoy good fellowship at the club in a happy and convivial atmosphere.

Meetings

On the first Monday of each month we have formal Committee meetings. These are International / Foundation and Community Service / Vocational groups. During the rest of the month, we either invite speakers to our meetings or we organise outside activities. We also enjoy social evenings with our partners when we have special events or visiting speakers which are likely to have popular appeal.

Club Service

Social activities for the Club include: - Theatre visits, Gliding, Fishing, Skittles, visits to places of interest and meetings with Member's partners.
