What is Rotaract?

Sponsored by Rotary, Rotaract is a club for young men and women aged 18 to 30 that offers you the opportunity to

• try new things

A key part of the Rotary family, Rotaract will help you develop your skills and knowledge while making a valuable contribution to your local community. Nationally and internationally too, you will have the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of projects - all proving that through Rotaract we can all really make a difference.

You'll make lots of friends too. A truly international organisation, Rotaract was formed in 1968 and now has over 173,000 members in over 7,500 clubs worldwide. Woking Rotaract is part of District 1140 which comprises of 9 clubs in Surrey, Hampshire and Southern Greater London. District 1140 is just one of 29 districts which make up Rotaract in Great Britain and Ireland.

Rotaract is non-denominational, non-religious, and non-political - anyone is welcome.

What do we do?

All Rotaract activities are organised by the Club Committee with help from the whole club. Therefore, whatever people in the club want to do, we do it! Examples of the different things we get up to below. Also see our photos of previous events and our list of upcoming events.

• Community - Helping within the local community is what makes Rotaract different. Activities include fund-raising for local, national and international charities, conservation work, assisting with the talking newspaper, etc.
• Social - An active social life is all part of Rotaract. Everything from pub crawls and walks, cinema trips, to theme park visits. We regularly get together with the other clubs in District 1140 for bigger Summer Balls, Christmas, Valentine, Halloween parties.
• International - Experience new places and different cultures through trips abroad, meals out and international exchanges.
• Sports - The emphasis is on fun rather than skill. Events range from pool, ten-pin bowling, badminton and rounders, to laser-quest and karting. Regular sports challenges against the other clubs in District 1140 make up a big part of our sporting calendar, and are always great fun.
• Vocational - Expand your horizons with visits to places of interest, theatre trips, comedy clubs and music festivals.

Where do we meet?
