It starts in...
It's a conference - but not as you know it!
Why make changes?
We have canvassed the Rotary Clubs in the District and acted on your feedback...
This year's focus is on inviting and involving Rotarians' families and friends and proactively welcoming non-Rotarians to this year's event.
This year it is about active recruitment!
Inspired by Challenges
As Rotarians we have always been attracted to the challenges. The theme of this year's conference couldn't pose a bigger challenge to the world today. Our charitable work is very much part of who we are...
Let's share that with others..
Festing it up!
This year there will be no buffet queue - you will be treated to 'Rotary around the world' street food. We will have a festival spirit in the air with interactive breakouts. An activity programme for the children will be created, subject to numbers...
Caring For Our World
Key Festival Features
There will be a lot happening during the day - some of which is listed below...
Who Will Attend District 1200 Conference?
Well, we hope you, for a start!
Rotarians
If you are new to the organisation, please do come along - we've been listening to your feedback.
Conference Stalwarts
Please join in as you always do, with enthusiasm, fellowship, friendship and fun.
Non-Rotarians
If you're a non-Rotarian who has stumbled across this website then please keep reading, and then please join us and find out what you can do within our wonderful organisation, and the impact you really can make on our society. And Rotarians - we need you to encourage others to join us - here at the conference, and of course in Rotary itself. Why not challenge yourself on this and post in our blog?
Families
We really do want to make it easier for those of you with family commitments to join in this important Rotary event, so you will see that we have worked hard on tailoring appropriate activities. There is an activity programme courtesy of Taunton School's facilities, and we aim to arrange a creche facility, again subject to take-up.
Why You Should Attend
Challenge
Challenge your perceptions, your pre-conceptions, your thinking, yourselves.
Community
Rotary fellowship, friendship, and reminding ourselves - or learning - just how warm and respectful our community is.
Encouragement
It is possible to create a better world, from short-term to long-term goals. And to encourage others to join with us in Rotary.
