The John Harvey Tavern is situated just off Cliffe High Street, Lewes. If you are a visiting Rotarian, please ensure that you contact an existing member or the Secretary prior to your visit. Our Club Host will usually be at the John Harvey Tavern from about 12.30 pm onwards to greet you on your arrival. The cost of lunch is currently £13. Guests are also very welcome if invited by a member.
We collected £5278.00!
We are overwhelmed with how much people so generously gave this year to our TREE OF GOODWILL collection - AKA Father Christmas collection.
Without expectation of how much we would raise, in advance we purchased 600 £10.00 food vouchers which were distributed to the food banks in Lewes, to be given to families in need at Christmas.
Thank everyone for making this possible!
CLUB HISTORY
The Rotary Club of Lewes was established in 1923. Much fellowship and service has been achieved by many Rotarians over these years. The Rotary motto "Service above Self" has been no idle phrase. The following will tell you how the Rotary Club was established in Lewes, its interests and actions. We are a Service Club, that is to say our members give freely of their time to raise money for projects both local and international and also to provide direct help to local people in need. Our Club currently has over 40 members giving us a great opportunity to serve both at home and Internationally.
