Portsmouth North Rotary Meeting at Hayling Island
An Introduction
The Rotary Club of Portsmouth North, meeting at Hayling Island. Rotary International is the World’s largest charity. It was founded by Paul Harris in Chicago in 1905 and now has 1.4 million members in Rotary clubs throughout the world. Rotary’s influence has been remarkable. It was Rotary funds that drove the virtual eradication of Polio, trained peacebuilders, supported education, for millions and raised funds for countless charities around the world.
Our Club was founded 53 years ago. Our principal aim is to raise funds for local charities and every penny we raise, goes to charities in the Portsmouth area. At the same time, we have formed a Club of like-minded people who enjoy a strong fellowship and a vibrant social calendar.
We meet every Thursday evening at The Langstone Quays Resort Hotel, Hayling Island, planning fund raising events, volunteering and Fellowship.
We enjoy interesting speakers on a regular basis and support local charities fund raising where we can make a difference. We have a meal and simply enjoy one and others company.
Our annual Charity Golf Day event raises funds for charities throughout the year, more information can be found on our Charity Golf Day page which you can get involved in.
