Welcome to the Billingshurst & District Rotary Club.

Thank you for visiting this web site. Our motto in Rotary is service above self so if you like having fun and socialising with others while helping your community come and join us. We normally have a meal together and often have a speaker. Help us change your community for the better and in turn change the world.
