about rotary district 1070
Rotary
District 1070 is located in the East Midlands of England covering an
area from Sleaford in the north to Biggleswade in the south and from
Boston in the East to Hinckley in the west,
including the counties of Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, parts of
Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and, finally but not
least, the ancient but proud county of Rutland, England's smallest
county. In Rotary District 1070 there are
eighty six
clubs with more than 2800 Rotarians
working in their local areas and serving the community locally,
nationally and internationally.
The
purpose of this site is threefold:
-
to provide information about Rotary in the East Midlands to
those who want to know more about us. We hope that this site
will introduce Rotary to interested people and provide an
insight into what we, for the benefit of others, do throughout
our district and in other parts of the world
-
to provide information and downloads on Rotary-related subjects
for Rotarians
across district 1070 and to provide information about current
events which may be of interest to Rotarians and others. Rotary
is also about fellowship and having fun. As part of our
activities, throughout the district, there is a constant social
program going on which involves Rotarians, their families, their
friends and members of the public.
-
to allow you an opportunity to make contact with us to air your
views and comments about Rotary, yourself, or the world in
general.
If you would like further information
or have any comments please do not hesitate to make contact with us.
Rotary District 1070 is one of 29 UK based
administrative districts of Rotary International (a world wide fellowship of
over 1.2 million professional and business leaders). The district covers an
area ranging from Sleaford in the north to Bedford in the south and from
Hinckley in the west to Boston in the east. This covers 86
Rotary clubs with over 2,800 members.
Rotary District 1070 in the East
Midlands of England is just about as diverse a region as can be found
anywhere in the United Kingdom. From the shifting coastline of Lincolnshire
in the east, across the fens and flat agricultural
 plains
of Anglia and Lincolnshire almost to the edge of the Peaks of Derbyshire in
the west, the District includes a number of England's most significant
commercial or industrial cities such as Leicester, Loughborough,
Peterborough, and
Northampton. On the other hand, there is a range of quiet, historical and
touristic towns such as Stamford with its Georgian buildings and annual
horse trials at Burghley, and Oakham, on the edge of England's largest
man-made lake, Rutland Water.
The district is led by a
District Governor
who is elected by the membership each year. As with many districts of this
size (a round trip to visit each club in the district would cover over 800
miles) the District Governor is assisted by 7 Assistant Governors each of
whom is the contact point for a small group of clubs.
To help in the smooth running of the district
there are several other officers and committees, each responsible for a
particular job or function.
