The Rotary Club of Newark Castle was founded in 1987 with the guidance of the Rotary Club of Newark . Club membership has reached thirty-four and regular attendance encourages good fellowship and friendly relationships worldwide. Dual gender is now the preferred make up of the Club and we are always looking for members who are prepared to give service to others who are less fortunate than themselves. The main objective of Rotary is service -- in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians build goodwill and peace, provide humanitarian service, and encourage high ethical standards in all vocations.

The Rotary motto is 'Service Above Self.'

Rotarians are professional men and women who work as volunteers to improve the quality of life in their home and world community. Club membership represents a cross-section of local business and professional leaders. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are non-political, non-religious and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. There are approximately 1.2 million Rotarians working in some 29,000 Rotary clubs in 160 countries and 35 geographical regions worldwide. First admitted in 1987, women are the fastest-growing segment of Rotary's membership. There are nearly 2,000 women club presidents and women are rapidly assuming regional leadership roles .

The Rotary Club of Newark Castle was founded with the guidance of the Rotary Club of Newark .  About ten businessmen met to discuss the possibility of finding ten others to enable a second Rotary Club in Newark to be formed and chartered by Rotary International. Evening meetings would be held weekly and Newark Castle was the chosen name. Early meetings were instructive on the operation of Rotary

On the 9th February 1987 twenty-eight members were enrolled as Rotarians and a charter was presented to President Graham Sinclair at a dinner held at the Robin Hood hotel.

23rd Charter Night 9th March 2010

 
On Tuesday evening, 9th March, a total of ninety-eight Rotarians and guests enjoyed the 23rd Charter Night of the Rotary Club of Newark Castle. This year we held the event in our usual weekly venue, the Cedric Ford pavilion on Newark Showground. Why move from our venue when they always feed us so well?
Top table guests were District Governor Tony Stimpson and Jill and President of the Rotary Club of Newark Ivor Walker and Jill.
We enjoyed an excellent choice of menus then had the standard Rotary Charter business before we could enjoy the comedian for the night, Bill Woolland, and very funny he was too
