About our Meetings
Our regular meetings -
Mansfield Rotary meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. Our usual venues is Portland College on Nottingham Road between Mansfield and Ravenshead.
Members start gathering in the bar from about 6.30pm ready for the meeting to commence at 7.00pm. and usually end around 9pm.
We usually start the meeting with a meal where members can chat and exchange ideas together. The business part of the meeting then starts about 8.15pm.
We have lots of different kinds of meetings and over the year we will have -
- Speakers on any topics of general interest
- Speakers from charities and organisations we already support - or may be considering to do so
- Our own members sometimes give a talk either about themselves or about a topic of interest to them
- Meetings to celebrate special calendar dates such as Burn's Night, St. George's Day - and, of course, Christmas!
- There are occasional outside visits to local places of interest where we may also enjoy a drink and meal out
Team Meetings -
Members are allocated to various teams. The teams meet as many times during the year as needed to deal with their areas of responsibilities. These are often on one of the Tuesdays between meetings..
Our teams are -
- Club Services - which oversees the general running of the Club
- Community & Vocation - which reviews requests for assistance to our community or proactively seeks areas where it is considered help may be given around us
- Youth - deals with projects for younger people such as our Young Chef and Leadership
- International & Foundation - allocates funding to International projects which are often related to relief work for major catastrophes and Foundation relates to our Rotary charity which has now helped to almost totally eradicate Polio from the world - and is continuing to complete this task
- Membership & Marketing - helps to promote what we do - by such means as this website which you are reading now and looks to attract new members to join our organisation - may be someone like you?
Working Parties -
These deal with special aspects of the Club like fund raising, the Christmas Sleigh, our programme of meetings and our Swimathon project
