What a site the massed bands are, 13 of our members manned the entry gates for the day.

This cycle event recently came to Bowral and 2,500 cyclists enjoyed rides around the Highlands. Bowral-Mittagong Rotary members (with the assistance of some friends) manned more than 50 marshalling points along the gruelling courses.

As usual, the members also manned the tradition Classic BBQ for the riders and their friends. The queues got longer and long as demand increased during the day. We guess that makes the Rotary snag on a roll a demand commodity.

A recent night out at our meeting venue (Highlands Golf Club) gave a number of our members a pleasant evening (and dinner) with the George Washingmachine jazz band. A lot of old favourites were rendered along with a lot of jamming. It was a great night out.

Our meetings are a mix of fellowship, project planning, guest speakers, and updates on our community work. Whether you’re a visiting Rotarian, a guest, or someone curious about Rotary, we warmly welcome you to join us.

President’s Message

Welcome to the Bowral-Mittagong Rotary.

People’s perception of Rotary is shaped by their experiences with our Club—through the programs we deliver, the stories we tell, and the images we share. At Bowral-Mittagong Rotary, we strive to create meaningful, lasting impressions by being actively engaged in the local community and offering practical, charitable support where it’s needed most.

We are proud to be one of two Rotary Clubs serving the vibrant and diverse communities of the Southern Highlands, NSW. Our members are committed to providing hands-on service and delivering projects that make a real difference—from supporting youth programs and local health services, to global aid initiatives and everything in between.

Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, we invite you to learn more about our Club, our people, and how you might get involved.

If you’re curious about Rotary or would like to discuss how we serve the community, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Warm regards,
Robbie Allen
