We enjoy good fellowship and a hearty meal. The meeting usually ends at around 9-30 p.m.
The Second meeting in the month is usually taken up with club business, with speakers or entertainment at the remaining meetings.
Visitors are requested to contact the Club Registrar, Joyce Welsh on 07780 7475067 before 1-00 p.m. on the day of the meeting wherever possible in order to ensure that they get a meal booked.
The Club was born of South Shields, Jarrow and Whitley Bay Rotary Clubs in 1988, It was chartered in February 1989. The early officers were mainly ex-Round Tablers which has resulted in the club’s pleasantly relaxed and informal atmosphere.
Of the Club activities, fundraising activities raise approximately £10,000 p.a. with the two major events being a “Guy Fawkes Fireworks Extravaganza” around November 5th. and a “Santas Sleigh Ride” in mid December.
Cleadon Club also supply personalised Rotary name badges to clubs and individuals throughout Britain.
One of our Past Presidents, Peter Leech (Paul Harris Fellow) is the driving force and founder of R.E.Action in Rotary.
