The Rotary Club of Eastbourne

The Rotary Club of Eastbourne was formed in 1922 - it has always been a very vibrant club of around 35 members, meeting weekly on a Monday lunchtime.

We are delighted to welcome you to our lively, friendly and inclusive Club of around 50 professional and business people joined together for fun and fellowship, but also committed to improve the lot of others. We meet at 12.30pm for lunch at 1pm, every Monday (excluding Bank Holidays) at The Lansdowne Hotel, Eastbourne, BN21 4EE. For further information please contact :-
Paul Gietzen, Hon. Secretary

Leonardo Mangoldt saw this firsthand across communities in Argentina and recognized that growing membership and strengthening community impact go hand in hand. Inspired by this, he and his club focused on creating more opportunities for service and belonging.

The result? Eight new Rotary clubs, three new Interact clubs, and Rotary returning to communities where it had disappeared.
