Many people believe Rotary is exclusively the domain of the retired professional male, i.e. the archetypal old boy’s club. Nothing could be further from the truth with The Rotary Club of Bedford De Parys.
Our Club is the only dual-gender Rotary Club in Bedford. That’s a posh way of saying we have both female and male members, and the ratio is split approximately 50:50. Some of our members are on the right side of 40 and we also don’t meet for lunch or even dinner. We meet for breakfast every Tuesday at The Embankment Hotel at 7.30am. The hotel address is The Embankment, Bedford, MK40 3PD.
We decided to meet for breakfast because our members are successful business people and professionals, many with families, and therefore a breakfast meeting ensures we can all get together regularly and still have plenty of time left for work, family and other interests.
