The Brickhills Rotary club
of Milton Keynes is a fine example of one of the more modern type of Rotary clubs.
Whilst retaining all the excellent aims and objects of the Rotary organisation, this Rotary club actively addresses the more exacting pace of life we all lead today.
The average age of the Brickhills Rotary club is 40 and the majority of the members have a young family. The gender split of the membership is almost equal between men and women, with couples forming over half of the members. We have an active social programme which includes our non-Rotarian partners and often the children too. Click here for more pictures of our social events and details about the club.

Our club entered for the National PR event award for the ~Rotary Easter Showcase that we put on in Middleton Hall last year. A 45 page report was drafted and submitted to RIBI headquarters. One month later we had a phone call to say that we had won the award jointly with Stanford St Martins Rotary club. Andrew and Elizabeth Sheldon travelled to National Conference in Edinburgh to receive the award. It was a very proud moment. ...District Governor Les Lee called us from his hospital bedand said "I am very proud of you and the Brickhills Rotary Club for winning the award. I know how much work went into the event and I could not be happier that you have won this for us all. Thank you very much"click for bigger pictures
The highlight of the conference speakers was Michael Portillo and very funny and self depricating man. |
