Discussion
I have friends who are in Rotary, they get a lot out of it from the point of giving something back to local charities. The one I am thinking of meets for lunches and does good work.
They used to have a rule that only one person of any profession could be a member, maybe that still applies.

Shouldn’t this post be in the Mazda sub-forum?
Rover/Jaguar/Lexus would be more appropriate.Seniors engaging in charity work together with some wife swapping, or so I am lead to believe.
Wife swapping sounds good though. Do you get to keep your new one if she’s better than the one you’ve PX’d?
I believe the Rotary club does have it's fair share of wankels 
I was in Round Table, which is a bit like Junior Rotary (you have to leave Round t
Table at 45, and lots of members go on to Rotary).
Round Table is a glorified drinking club, with the chance to make lots of good friends and do stuff for charity. Membership is mainly to do with your profession, and if you're self-employed or own your own company, and you enjoy networking, you'll do well. Most RTers do BNI and stuff as well.
From what I understand, Rotary is a bit like RT, but being an older demographic, some of the business networking is replaced by showing off how much money you've made.

Round Table here too,
Round table is only for younger members, socialising, drinking and putting on events involving mostly drinking to raise money for local causes, we do some really good stuff, normally stuff other larger charities wont touch.
Rotary is the older, more mature offering with lots of "dinners" and jag driving, but all also to raise money and put on events for the community.

Mostly correct. Both have broadly the same aims of enjoying the company of others whilst doing a bit of good for those in the wider society who are more disadvantaged for whatever reason. RT kicks you out at 45 and some go on to RotaryTable at 45, and lots of members go on to Rotary).

I've been a member of both. The big difference is that age slows some down so Rotary is more, shall we say, sedate. An example - I recently visited two meetings in South Africa. The Round Table meeting involved a mahoosive bonfire, beer, loud music and beer pong. The Rotary meeting the next day was a very nice lunch at a good restaurant
. Both groups very welcoming and good company, but in a markedly different way.flashbang said:
What is one and what do the members do? Ive googled but all seems international rather than local descriptions.
Simple answer to this is if you're interested search out your local club and contact them. Like everyone else, they're probably meeting via Zoom at the moment so you won't even need to leave home to get an idea of what they're like.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
