Our Club
The Rotary Club of Faversham was founded on the 15th October 1947 and is within District 1120 which includes the counties of Kent, East Sussex and part of South East London, England.
The club draws its members from the ancient market town of Faversham located on the North Kent coast in England, to the west of Canterbury and on the main route from London to Canterbury and the Channel ports to the Continent.
Our weekly meetings are held on Monday evenings at Faversham Golf Club, a few miles outside Faversham in the heart of the picturesque countryside of Kent, the 'Garden of England'.

Club Meeting 26th July 2010
By: Earle SmithThis evening Mark Waite and Sally Harman spoke to us about Bigfoot KIDS (Kent Initiative for Drama in Schools). Bigfoot is an arts education company that delivers nationwide. The objective of the project is to deliver a sustainable after school drama provision for schools across the county for which Mark and Sally are resonsible.They provide schools and organisations with unique programmes and projects that creatively enrich and extend the national curriculum. Their belief is that children, young people and teachers become more inspired and motivated through creative expression, which consequently raises standards of learning and teaching within schools. The programme aims to develop speaking and listening skills, teamwork, cooperation and communication whilst giving young people confidence in their own ideas and abilities.
