Welcome to Luton Someries Rotary Club

someries.jpgThe Rotary Club of Luton Someries was formed in 1993 and takes its name from Someries Castle in Luton.

This website is for members of the public and other Rotarians to see what we do - and is also a working site for the club's members, so some areas are restricted. Our Committee News and News sections contain information on club activities.

Please come and join us for breakfast on a Friday morning. If possible, could you inform us before the event; then we can ensure there's enough food and a place for you to sit! Our Contact Us page has the relevant phone numbers or email addresses.

Signposts (Luton) Opening of Holland House 2009

It was President Jean’s intention to support Signposts during her year of office – not just the giving of money but more of a ”hands on” project.

During 2008/9 Signposts purchased premises in Houghton Regis. After many months of building and refurbishment the hostel, accommodating 8 residents, opened in May 2009.

Conference 2009

Having returned a week late from Conference I have now had time to consider the highlights of the weekend at Eastbourne. 

There were 11 of us staying at the Langham Hotel and 2 staying at The Grand.

Some of us arrived on Thursday night ready to put up the stand in the House of Fellowship on Friday morning. Pictures of the final version of the stand are attached, which I think did the club credit in terms of trying to encourage urban clubs to make the environment greener, by showing  how we have done it over the last 3 years.

Hedge Planting

On a cold and wet morning Luton Rotarians and Volunteers from the Conservation Trust assembled at the car park with our forks, spades etc, etc.

After trudging across ¼ mile of playing field, we inspected the whips (saplings) that we planted last November. It is encouraging to see that many were still in existence and surviving although the support stakes that had been put in place had all been ‘whipped’ by some locals, no doubt for their own gardens!!

Women's Aid Jungle

The residents of one of our refuges were extremely thrilled to see a group of people turn up in their garden getting down to digging and planting at last.

The group was watched carefully by a small person of two years who told me with great excitement that "the ladies and gentleman were putting pretty flowers in that would come up when the sun came back after Christmas."
