What is Rotary?
Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
More locally, Rotary provides an opportunity for likeminded people to come together to make their local community better. There's so much scope that a Rotary Club can cover but it takes the will to do it. We meet fortnightly for dinner and to discuss business and just generally to grow a sense of friendship between members.

Once seen as a very exclusive "invite only" Club, while we have done away with many of the old systems and pre-requisites, it's still hard to attract new, younger members.
The local Community remains central to the ethos of what the Rotary Club of Ramsey does and despite the wider worldwide connections that Rotary brings from an International perspective, it remains most important for your Club that Community lies at the heart of everything we do,
