Welcome to our International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians little part of cyberspace where the UK chapter arranges trips at home and abroad both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere as can be seen from our Diary page and from the “Memories” link

Rotarians and their partners or anyone who has an interest in Rotary combined with motorcycling are welcome to apply to join the fellowship

Members can find out more about the IFMR from the links on these pages and from the members area where they can book places on the tours arranged within the fellowship – comment on our programme, leave views, contact other members or your committee with new ideas and suggestions for and generally be a part of the Fellowship as never before

The front page of the website remains fairly static as the main area of this site is aimed at our members but we welcome any comments from members of the public who may have an interest in motorcycling and what Rotary is about

One of the reasons that many of us joined Rotary is to adopt Rotary ideals of service both Internationally and within our communities. To create an enjoyable environment for all in the true spirit of Rotary and to support Rotary International in their aims to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education and to alleviate poverty and child mortality. Through the Fellowship of Rotary and especially the IFMR we can achieve that goal

A few interesting observations about these islands of ours and how fortunate we are to live in such a free society when many do not:

From the map (courtesy of O/S) you will see 5 great capital cities representing the 5 countries that make up the British Isles all of which have their own parliament. Eire (Southern Ireland) being totally independent and the only country of the 5 to adopt the Euro. There is also another parliament on one of our most famous islands (well to us motorcyclists) and that of course is the Isle of Man

The diversity, the people and the history are what makes these British Isles Great. Famous names of towns and cities shown on this map can be seen across the world in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, India and many more influenced during the days of Empire

Millions of visitors come to Britain every year for many different reasons, some to trace their ancestry, others to marvel at places like the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland, the Western Isles of Scotland, the Valley’s of Wales or the beauty of the stone buildings of the English Cotswolds and all can be assured of a welcome from one of the friendliest people on earth
