Blyth Valley Rotary

Blyth Valley Rotary Doing good is not only fulfilling, also creates a positive ripple in the world around us. Let’s unite to inspire and protect one another!

Together, we can transform lives, uplift our community, and find fun in helping others. We are Blyth Valley Rotary. Originally Luncheon meetings were held at the Swan Hotel Southwold during 1959 and gradually the numbers were built up to approach the twenty‑five candidates required for a Charter. Eventually Southwold Rotary Club were in a position to hold our Inaugural Luncheon Meeting at the Swan

Hotel on Tuesday, 8th December, 1959. twenty‑five names appear in the list of Founder Members, with Rotarians Nelson Field as President, George Bumstead as Vice‑President, Aubrey Day as Secretary and Alec Gower as Treasurer. Regular meetings continued, with the Club going from strength to strength, in readiness for the Charter Presentation, which was held on Tuesday, 26th April, 1960 at the Swan Hotel. The same list of names is printed on the menu for this occasion. Over the years the Rotary Club of Southwold changed its meeting day from Tuesday to Monday and has met at the Swan Hotel, Sutherland House, Minivers Restaurant and the Congregational Church Hall before settling at the Craighurst in 1968. Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million with 46,000 clubs.
'Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves'

Sunday 27th September 2026 2-4 pm at The Southwold Putting and Cafe On The Green. £10 per person . Come join us for a relaxed afternoon tea! We have lots of fun activities lined up, and it’s all for a great cause—every penny we raise will go to Breast Cancer Now. This wonderful charity is the largest in the UK dedicated to breast cancer, and they’re all about funding top-notch research and offering amazing support to those in need. They came together from several well-known charities, like Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign. Their heartwarming goal is to ensure that by 2050, everyone who faces a breast cancer diagnosis will not only survive but thrive. We can't wait to see you there and make a difference together! Donations for the raffle and tombola would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to Rotarians Sally Bird, Andy Darnell, Bruce Bennett, Poppi Smith and Elaine Bennett
