Is Rotary a male only organisation ?

No, many clubs have female members although some clubs do retain single gender status. The Rotary Club of Elland does  have female members and has a dual gender status enabling female members to be admitted. There are a number of clubs with female presidents within our district.

What is the attendance rule ?

The attendance rule is an important aspect of Rotary because fellowship is the essence of Rotary and this is helped by regular attendance. Whilst this may appear onerous attendance can be "made up" by attending other Rotary Clubs, certain District events and Club Service projects.

Back to Top

Is there an age limit for Rotarians ?

Unlike certain other organisations there is no upper age limit for Rotarians. There is also no lower age limit although practicalities prevent membership below a certain age. Although Rotary is perceived as an older persons organisations there are rotarians who are in their twenties. 

Back to Top

Isn't Rotary just another secretive organisation ?

On the contrary Rotarians are very open about their membership. All Rotarians are encouraged to wear the Rotary badge signifying their membership of the organisation and are proud to do so. Rotarians are keen to promote Rotary and increase the profile of the organisation wherever possible.

Back to Top

How much does Rotary cost ?

To a certain extent the cost of Rotary is dependent upon the involvement of the individual member. The basic costs are the membership subscription (£120 in Elland) and the weekly meal cost [£10.50]. Additional costs may be incurred in respect of special events, such as Ladies' Nights, visits to twin clubs overseas and fundraising events.

How can I join ?

New Rotarians need to be proposed by an existing member and applications are subject to approval by all the existing club members. Many clubs are actively seeking new members and in most cases joining should not be a problem. The first step is to make contact with your local club. Details of all clubs can be obtained through the R.I.B.I. website on our links page. If you are interested in joining this club please send us an email through our Contact us page.
