Rotary Club Welcome Letter from 2021/22 President Derrick Royall
Welcome to Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club
Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club was established over 30 years ago. We have around 50 members who are actively engaged in making a difference. Our club motto is to ‘Step Forward and Give Back’.
Through the enthusiasm, vigour and good humour of our members, the Club provides a focus for informative weekly meetings, charity fundraising, service activities to support those in need, and a wide range of social events, thereby creating enduring friendships.
We meet at breakfast each Wednesday morning. Since the pandemic interrupted our lives, our meetings have taken place on Zoom, with presentations from key speakers from business, educational establishments and the charity sector. These high-quality presentations have attracted guests from different parts of the UK and internationally.
As we gradually return to normality, we will resume live meetings, but will retain some online involvement too, as this has helped the club grow and involve people from further afield during the course of the Pandemic.
The Club energetically raises funds through two major annual events, The Rotary Dragon Boat Festival at Bristol Harborside, which has raised over £750,000 for good causes since 2001, and a Corporate Golf Day hosted at the prestigious Bristol and Clifton Golf Club.
Over the next year we will compliment these fund raising efforts with further events, so […]

Welcome to Our Vibrant, Service-Oriented Humanitarian Club
“We make a living by what we get.
We make a life by what we give.”
– Winston Churchill
Rotary is a not-for-profit service organization that brings together professionals and business leaders to promote peace and goodwill around the world.
Rotary clubs are non-religious, non-political and open to everyone.
Our lively club has more than fifty members, and together we’ve raised more than £1 million for nominated charities since our club’s founding in 1989.
As an inherantly business-minded group of people, we do charity differently.
Since Rotary International was founded in 1905, clubs around the world have collectively spent more than £2 billion on sustainable, life-changing projects. As we are largely volunteers involved directly with projects, approximately 92% of funds are spent directly on charitable projects.
