In Romsey we have two Rotary Clubs – the oldest being the Rotary Club of Romsey and the newer Club named the Rotary Club of Romsey Test. Each Club is independent of the other, but we cooperate and help each other wherever we can, and appreciate the support of individual non-Rotarians and other valued organisations and businesses. Major fund raising and community-based events that we routinely organise include Romsey Relay Marathon, Walk the Test Way, the Mayor’s Picnic, Reminiscences of Romsey and Carols in the Market Square at Christmas.
