Welcome to the Rotary Club of Faversham website.
What is Rotary
Rotary is short for Rotary International a worldwide association
of local clubs for men and women in business or the professions who: provide humanitarian service to the community
at local, national and international level; encourage high ethical standards in all vocations; and work for goodwill

Rotary was founded by Paul Harris in 1905 and now has over 1.2 million members in more than 29,000 clubs
in 159 countries and 35 geographical regions. There are 1,800 clubs in Great Britain and
Ireland with over 61,000 members.
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'.
