About Rotary Chester
The Rotary Club of Chester started life in 1921 and currently meets at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Chester. Meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Mondays at 12:00 for lunch at 12:15 pm.
After a meal we have a speaker at about half our meetings covering a variety of topics. Recent speakers have included a young man who rowed across the Pacific Ocean in 45 days, a speaker who was on Everest when the Nepal earthquake occurred and a Liverpool river pilot.
One meeting a month is set aside as a “business meeting” at which projects and activities are discussed.
