Hello and welcome..............

Members of Exe Valley Rotary Club (a registered charity) are real local people having fun but trying to do a bit of good in their local community. Might that be you?
If you might be interested in finding out more about Exe Valley Rotary, Rotary in general, or joining us at a (currently on-line) meeting as a guest, then just email us. You will be very welcome indeed.
It was a great honour and pleasure to be elected President of such an active Rotary club as Exe Valley and to take over the reigns for 2020-21. I acknowledge my predecessor's success in leading the club over the last year and in adapting us so quickly to the Covid pandemic, to lockdown, and to the need to completely change our format so that we now have virtual video "meetings" while awaiting the ability to resume our normal Wednesday evening meetings at the Hartnoll Inn.
With nearly fifty members we are one of the largest local Rotary clubs and are renowned for the fellowship and friendliness of our members.
In recent years we have been able to raise significant monies for charitable and other worthy causes through our popular Uffculme Show and other events. Some of the beneficiaries of Exe Valley Rotary's work are listed here.
It was most unfortunate we had to cancel our 2020 events due to the pandemic (as have many other organisations) as this will inevitably limit our ability to respond to requests for financial help during this year.
Now we must find new ways to keep membership fun, and fulfil the aims of Rotary, while supporting our community and of course raising money for our own and other charities.

We are an evening Club and (when not in social isolation) would normally meet for dinner most Wednesdays - usually at the Hartnoll Hotel, Bolham, Nr Tiverton - at 7.45 for 8.00pm. Please note there is also a lunchtime club hosted by Tiverton Rotary Club and their details can be found here
While our normal Hotel meetings have had to be suspended, virtual meetings continue each Wednesday
Rotary is a high profile international organisation. Visiting Rotarians both from the UK and around the world, are welcome to join Exe Valley's meetings, though advance notice to our President will be greatly appreciated.
Exe Valley Rotary - Events
Throughout the year we do so much in the community, from running a Gluhwein stall at Tiverton's street food festival, collecting for and donating to local charities, sponsoring the cost of school trips and Providing dictionaries to selected Primary age children and lots more.
Exe Valley Rotary also lends and re-lends through a Kiva microfinancing scheme to assist individuals in in far flung places realise start up schemes which would probably be too small to otherwise attract investment .

Uffculme Show
Exe Valley Rotary Club were sorry to let so many down by having to cancel the popular annual Uffculme Show in May. We had planned it for 2020 alongside the VE day 75 years celebration and visitors a wwere due to be enthralled by a circus workshop, balloon fun, lot s of varied live music, a Dog show, a Classic vehicle show, many trade stands, a full Craft Marquee, food outlets and many other attractions.
We aim to return in 2021 - once again with a full and varied program of Main and side ring attractions. Announcements will appear on this site and the show's Facebook Page here |
Templeton Trail
Our small and family friendly Templeton Trail's 5K & 10K morning cross-country routes are based in the glorious countryside around Templeton, in Mid Devon every April (with permission from the private landowners).
The beautiful courses are both family friendly and yet capable of challenging most club cross country runners In 2019 50 entrants of all ages and abilities joined in, with everyone enjoying the hospitality of the Templeton Village hall catering afterwards. Our 2020 event was to have been bigger, but was overtaken by the Covid pandemic. Follow updates on this site and on the Templeton Trail Facebook page here |
