On Monday 30th June 2008 the remaining members of the Rotary Club of Eccleshall & District met at the George Hotel and after a fine meal took a vote on the motion 'That the club be dissolved' We regret to inform you that the members present and those who voted postally voted nine in favour of the motion and three against. The present officers were instructed to carry out eh procedure to dissolve the club as of that date.
Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Eccleshall & district, my name is Steve Groom and I had the honour of being the eighteenth and final President of our club.
We have had a great eighteen years and we are all sad that the club has closed. Many of us have happy memories of the club and will keep them for a long time. The problems that the club has had over the past two or three years and the gradual decrease in membership along with a lack of suitable venues locally inevitably led us to the closure of the club. Until the rental fee expires we shall keep the club website as a reminder of our happier times and the positive things that we have achieved locally, and helped to achieve nationally and internationally.
