The Rotary Club of Braintree and Bocking was founded on 3 December 1926. We hope this web-site will give you a feel for our amazing history. Rotary is as relevant today as when it was founded - you will see how active we are from the Diary. There are pages about the global Rotary International and Rotary in Britain and Ireland. If you are interested in joining us, we provide contact details and a welcome to join us for an evening.

Welcome to our Rotary Club
So what do Rotarians do?
Two billion children are healthy today, in lands both near and far away
Who otherwise might be lame...or dead, from polio...that childhood dread!
And hungry children are being fed, through better ways to grow their bread Rotarians in many lands are teaching, and doctors of all kinds are reaching
Out to heal the sick and lame, with little thought for wealth or fame
And men and women are meeting the need, to teach little children how to read Youth come here from every land, in answer to our outstretched hand
To learn to know us and know our ways, bringing peace and friendship to all our days
And clubs are formed in every nation, for fellowship and conversation
For education and information, and practicing the cultivation
Of peace on earth, and goodwill to all, and a speedy end to every wall
Which separates the folk of earth and keeps us from seeing each other's worth
A hundred things there are to say about what Rotarians do each day
In every land and every town, to lift someone when they are down
And help each other along the way - Service Above Self - what more can I say?
