The Rotary Club of Billericay Mayflower meets at 8pm on a Thursday evening at the Bustead Golf Club, Little Burstead, including 5th Thursdays, for fellowship and a good meal. The club numbers forty seven people, and this group runs several events in the town, most notable of which are the Summerfest Event in July and the Billericay Christmas Market at the beginning of December.
Our President this year is Carl Johnson, who took over in July 2018. Please e-mail Ian Miller, the Club Secretary, for more information about the club. His e-mail address is secretary@mayflowerrotary.org.
The club has an interesting history, and is closely associated with the Rotary Club of Billericay which meets on a Monday.
From the President
I feel privileged to be the youngest ever President of Billericay Mayflower Rotary Club.
We are now in our 29th year, and I am lucky enough to work alongside great people, including our first lady vice-president.
Although I joined Rotary three years ago, I helped with our major events for several years before that.
Community is most important, and I would like to thank the Billericay community for supporting us and for participating in all our events. Without you, we could not complete the great work we do, both locally and internationally.
Our major events are:
- Summerfest, at Sun Corner, Billericay (8th July 2018)
- Christmas Market, in the High Street, Billericay (2nd December 2018)
In the past year, we have supported many local charities and community projects, this will continue throughout the coming year.
We continue to support international Rotary projects, including End Polio Now and Shelter Box.
We also support other local clubs by helping at Billericay Fireworks and Soapbox Derby, for example.
Some prospective members seek a different kind of Rotary, with more flexibility and fewer meetings. I am very pleased to say that a satellite club has recently been formed that already has 11 members and is growing fast.
If you are interested in finding out more about our club, or the satellite club, please email me: president@mayflowerrotary.org or better still, join us on a Thursday evening at the Burstead Golf Club for a great meal and good company.
Thank you for your support.
President, Rotary Club of Billericay Mayflower.
