Does anyone know if the Kyrenia Rotary Club still meets? and perhaps a contact number for them? My father is a member in the UK and would like to meet some members here when he comes over to visit at the end of May.

Hi



I am a UK Rotarian of 20 years now a member of the newly established Rotary Club of Kyrenia St Hilarion - we meet every Thursday evening at 7pm for 7.30 at Onar Village ( up the main lefkosa road from the large roundabout on the right).



We would be happy to meet your father and introduce him to our members - we are a multi national club speaking English throughout our meeting - Kyrenia Liman ( meet on Wednesday at 1pm in the Dome Hotel but they are a Turkish speaking club).



My telephone number is 0533 8304267 - name is Nicky Montgomery



Hope to meet your father on his visit



Take Care - Rotarian Regards

Hutch, absolutely no disrespect intended, but I was under the impression that Rotary was pretty much a male preserve. Am I mistaken?

Hi again



Rotary RIBA ( Rotary Internaitional Britain and Ireland) started taking female members about 10 years ago - as a Past President of Inner Wheel I joined my local "Male" club and went through all the Board appointments to become their President !!!!!



Rotary here, is quite unlike the formality of UK - its quite refreshing and there is so much you can offer with your "UK" experience - my partner has joined and we have helped the local community with so many projects.



You can actually make a difference here - watch out in Cyprus Today and The Observer for our latest project - so far we have pledged 8 defibrillators for the outlying areas of Northern Cyprus - thats just in 3 weeks - we have Chris Gibson and Terry Carter and 2 UK clubs helping us and we are going to change the Heart Attack response time - Could help all of us !!



Give me a ring if you are interested ?



Nicky

I am using my husband's login here.



I am so happy to see this thread. I was in Kyrenia last year and wondered about Rotary. I am a "female" Rotarian from Ireland and was one of the first of two ladies introduced to our Club in 2001 and was President 3 years ago. We are due to be in Kyrenia before the end of the year and look forward to dropping in!

Hi Nicky, my dad asked me to forward you his message:



"Many thanks to you for the info on the English speaking Kyrenia club.

I'm flying out next Sunday (24th). The first Thursday is out (my daughter's wedding!) but it would be interesting to visit the club Thursday 4th June.

Do I assume 7 for 7.30 means a sit down dinner? Casual or formal dress?

Many thanks

Lionel"



please could you reply to my email address: [email address deleted as per written request my the email address owner]

Thanks!
