What is Rotary?

Rotary is short for Rotary International. Service above Self is Rotary’s motto. It is a world-wide association of local clubs for business and professional men and women who:

• provide humanitarian service to the community at local, national and international level
• encourage high ethical standards in all vocations
• work for goodwill and peace in the world

And what is Ware Rotary Club?

The Rotary Club of Ware is an organisation of like minded business and professional people who want to put a little back into the community both on a local and international scale, at the same time as enjoying good fellowship and forging lasting friendships.

Our membership is open to all and currently numbers in the upper 30's, professions represented range from Butchers and Bakers to Accountants and Solicitors with a variety in between.

We meet in the heart of Ware, at the Priory, a 14th century ancient monument in seven acre riverside grounds. The River Lea is renowned on this stretch for its original 18th century gazebos.
