Rotary in Beds, Bucks & Herts
Rotary Clubs around the world are organised into administrative areas known as Districts. Amwell Rotary Club is a member of Rotary District 1260 which roughly covers the three counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. There are presently some 53 Rotary Clubs in this district.
Each District is presided over by a District Governor and Amwell Rotary Club is very proud to have provided two District Governors in the thirty years of its existence. Derek Adams was District Governor in 1999 to 2000 and Ian Holliday was District Governor in 2002 to 2003.

District 1260 is the conduit by which Amwell Rotary Club can comment on Rotary policy at District, National & International Level.
Club Committees are mirrored at District level and District 1260 offers support and advice for all member clubs.

The President of Rotary International, Great Britain and Ireland
We were delighted to welcome David Fowler, the 2009 - 2010 National President of Rotary International Great Britain and Ireland to our meeting on June 7th 2010. David shared with Amwell Rotarians and visitors from both the Ware and the Hertford Shires Clubs just a few of his experiences during his year in office in a short but inspiring address that reminded us all of the power of one good idea and just how huge that idea can become when Rotarians join forces to make it happen.
We were also very pleased to welcome back 2009 - 2010 District Governor Sandy Aked Walker and David Aked Walker, members of the Rotary Club of Newport Pagnell.
The Amwell One Team
The Rotary District Quiz
This annual event, usually held at Wheathampstead, attracts entries from a large number of the Rotary Clubs within the District.
In recent years Amwell have entered two teams of four and we were delighted when Amwell One managed a very creditable third place in the 2010 competition.
Pictured opposite are the team members receiving their runner up prizes.
