Cowdenbeath Rotary Club - 01383 511126

Cowdenbeath Rotary meets in Wee Jimmies Bar, 104 High St, Cowdenbeath, fortnightly on Thursdays at 6:30pm. Website has dates.

Founded in 1923, the Club serves the former mining communities of Cowdenbeath, Kelty, Lochgelly, Ballingry and Cardenden. Few visible signs of the area's mining heritage remain apart from the winding gear of the Mary Pit in Lochore Meadows Country Park. The area's former dependence on coal mining is perhaps reflected in the occupations of the Founding President - Charles C Reid, Chairman of Fife Coal Company - and Founding Secretary - Henry Rule, Manager of Kelty Gas Company.

We meet fortnightly on Thursdays 12:30pm for 12:45pm in the Halfway House Hotel Kingseat (Tel 01383 731661). Visitors are assured a warm welcome when you join us for lunch. Since our meetings are on a fortnightly rota please check in our Calendar for meeting dates.

As one of the 86 Club in Rotary District 1010 - North Scotland, we are actively involved in local, regional and international projects. We offer organisations physical and financial assistance - whichever is most needed and deemed appropriate. In many occasions we will offer both if we can.

Our members are committed to our local area and help and support many groups and organisations in our own community.

As a club we hope to use our skills and expertise to make a difference in our community by being TRUE in all that we do; being FAIR to everyone we deal with; offering GOODWILL and FRIENDSHIP and making sure that our actions are BENEFICIAL for everyone involved.
