Rotary Club of Goulburn

Rotary Club of Goulburn Serving Goulburn and the international community since 1930. Our projects, programs and events serve the Goulburn community and abroad.

We are a dynamic group of people who volunteer our time based on the ideal of Service Above Self - Rotary's core value. Chartered in 1930, the Rotary Club of Goulburn is an amalgamated Rotary Club, comprising the former Rotary Clubs of Goulburn, Goulburn Mulwaree and Goulburn Argyle. Rotary is an international service organisation of business and professional men and women who accept the 'Ideal of

Service' as the basis for success and happiness in business and community life. The Rotary Club of Goulburn raises its funds through annual Swap Meet
and Book Fair, monthly Parkside Markets as well as various catering activities including Goulburn Speedway and other opportunities as they arise. The fellowship involved in working together is a feature of our Club. Our Club raises funds to support many organisations locally, throughout Australia and the world. Some of our beneficiaries include: Goulburn Base Hospital, Polio Plus, Bowel Care, Goulburn Prostate Cancer Support Group, the Salvation Army and many more. The Rotary Club of Goulburn meets every Monday evening at 6pm for 6.15pm at the Goulburn Workers Club, Goulburn. Guests are very welcome to attend, and can contact us through Facebook to book in, or give President Geoff Thrower a call on 0417 667 045.

Meet Wal (left).

Wal is our Club Secretary and all round legend! Having dedicated years of his life to community service with APEX, Wal came out of volunteering retirement to become a Rotarian, and we are all the greater for it.

Here Wal is being presented with Certificates of Appreciation for the hours he gives each week to support the PCYC Goulburn Fit 4 Life program.

Thanks Wal for all you give to the Club and our community. We appreciate you!

The Goulburn Inclusion Forum is doing such great work in our community, and we were only too pleased to help them continue that good work.

Here is the new marquee we purchased for them, to help with their branding, and to give their incredible volunteers shade and a space for events.

Here they are at VibesFest and Australia Day. This weekend you will find them at the Goulburn Show assisting with accessible parking. What legends!

Meet Sam!

Sam is one of our newest Rotarians, an absolute champion and a weapon on the BBQ.

Here he is getting prepped, apron and all, to cook up a storm on the BBQ at the Goulburn Speedway. Our Rotarians operate the Speedway canteen for all their race meets and are gearing up for another great night this Saturday.

Tell Sam we sent you 😉

We are so pleased to partner with the Rotary Club Of Cowra in support of our friend Luke from Luke Books For The Outback.

Luke travels all over to outback stations to share the love of reading, and now thanks to the combined efforts of our two Rotary Clubs, the books are well protected with a new waterproof cover.

As we edge closer to our first of two Book Fair’s, know that any unsold books are donated to Luke to distribute on his travels, or placed in storage for the Book Fair later in the year.

Safe travels Luke!

We are surrounded by wonderful people doing important work in our world, and we were lucky to be joined by Sharlene from Urban Rewild.

Sharlene's presentation was about urban rewilding efforts in Kenya that involve Maasai communities focus on blending ecological restoration with cultural preservation and sustainable livelihoods. These initiatives often integrate Indigenous knowledge, aiming to restore grasslands and improve ecosystems while supporting the Maasai's traditional pastoral lifestyle.

Thanks for joining us Sharlene, and thanks to Rotarian Ashleigh for finding another interesting guest speaker.

President Jack proudly accepted our certificate from Rotary International for our Club's ongoing contribution to the End Polio Now campaign.

Rotary International’s End Polio Now campaign continues to make significant progress, reducing global polio cases by 99.9% since its inception. Polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but these countries have seen substantial reductions in cases, with wild poliovirus now confined to limited regions.

For many years, as a Club and through our individual members we have been doing our bit to contribute to Rotary's efforts internationally to eradicate Polio. For every guest speaker that we have at our meetings, we contribute a further $100 per speaker to this important initiative.
