LOCAL CONFUSION – ROTARY
(10/07/2023)
There appears to be some confusion locally about Rotary in Aberaeron & District. The true and only Rotary Club operating in this area and representing all of the Communities for 20 years, is Clwb Rotari Aberaeron Rotary Club A’r Cylch. A Club established dual gender where everyone is equally valued and is open, transparent and democratic. We uphold all the principles, values, by-laws and code of conduct expected of any Rotary Club or Rotarian.
The Club is very progressive in challenging formality, structure and the cost to our members. We meet face to face as this affords the benefits in developing close ties and trust. After COVID people need to physically meet and re-establish social contact. This is very important for physical and mental well-being.
People have suffered due to lack of contact, and this included former Rotarians who wanted to close the Club down and start their own Club. We aim, through the meetings and fellowship, to re-introduce ‘normal’ back into society. On-line meetings are impersonal and subject to control by others and are a reminder of the bad times of being locked-down and isolated.
