Members are encouraged to attend Thursday lunch meetings whenever they can. They are an opportunity for fellowship, to hear interesting speakers, and to catch up with our Club activities.
Remember that if you are unable to join our lunch meetings in person, we can still provide a Zoom option. Please contact President Katie for details of the link to use.
Meal Orders - Update August 2023
The café has noted that many of our Rotary members and guests are now ordering on arrival. This makes it difficult for them to manage staffing levels and keep up the level of service for us, as well as their other guests.
As a club, we appreciate the use of the venue facilities free of charge.
To maintain this it is appreciated if you would please remember to pre-order your food and drink from the lunch menu ahead of time!

It all started with "Houston we have a problem ". The organiser and one of the debate participants both contracted Covid .This meant the great Aotea debate was postponed and we morphed into a fellowship meeting .Inside this umbrella of a fellowship meeting President Katie touched on Mental Health which is a topic hotly promoted by the International President Gordon McInally. Bruce Cowan then finished off with a brief on the future of Rotary and its structure under a regionalization program .This basically means smaller groups or communities that are more effective on key issues such as membership, publicity, fund raising and working in a collaborative manner with other clubs .More info on this subject will follow.
