welcome to our Rotary website

We are an active voluntary club based near the centre of Newcastle, about 150 km north of Sydney. We are involved in community projects and raise money for various charities. Why not come along and see how we operate and what fun we have?

 

The average age may be around 50 but we have members much younger than that and even as old as 80.

 

With our site, we hope to keep members, indeed, anyone interested, fully informed on what we are doing and what we have recently done.


Prospective Members

Your first visit is complimentary, i.e. the club will pay for your breakfast. Note: this is different to bringing along a guest and only applies to people interested in joining Rotary for the first time.

If you are considering becoming a member why not come along? Simply fill out our contact form to let us know that you will be attending. Be assured we will look after you. We are a very friendly club!

We have won the 2008-2009 District Club Web Site Award for the club that shows the most creative design and current information on their site. Enjoy it!

RAWCS?? What is it? We have a Flash video compiled by the Rotary Club of Salamander Bay, which is well worth watching. 13MB in size so only if you have a broadband connection. Click here to view.

Haddassah's Video is now online. It is 8MB and great viewing!

Coffee for Sale

We now have Humanity Coffee in 200 gm bags for sale. This coffee is bought directly from the growers in the PNG Highlands and dark roasted and absolutely delicious. You can buy some here.

The member area now has some photos for you to view. If you have forgotten your member login, please ask another club member or the webmaster.
