The applicant must be proposed and seconded by a member of the club, unless they are a transferring Rotarian from another club, whose membership has not lapsed.
They should be adult persons of good character and good business, professional and/or community reputation. Unlike many organisations Rotary has no upper age limit, in fact many of our senior members are still very active in all the club activities.

The membership of any member, other than an honorary member shall automatically terminate if, without the consent of the Club Council for and sufficient reason, the member fails to attend or make-up four consecutive Club meetings.
A member will be expected to attend their relevant major and minor committee meeting’s each once a month in the evening, they should also wherever possible support the Club’s various Service and Fundraising events together with the Club’s Social activities.
