Rotary Clubs chartered prior to 1923 can meet fortnightly. We do, except in December when we have only our Charter Anniversary Dinner. We also hold some special events when partners and guests are invited, and we undertake various service, social, fun and fund-raising Activities. Members' wives are invited to join the Inner Wheel Club of Buxton. It meets monthly at the Lee Wood Hotel, and with us annually. Please contact our Club Secretary for additional information.

Buxton, bordering the Peak District National Park, is a tourist centre.

Last Meeting: 12/11/2008 Topic: End Polio Now - Rtn Mike Yates

Mike Yates, chairman of District 1050's sub-Committee on Polio Eradication, organised an RIBI Group to help with a mass vaccination exercise in Lucknow, India targeting two areas where there had been a resurgence of polio – Utttar Pradesh and Bihar. The RIBI group consisted of 16 Rotarians and relatives from Lancashire, Yorkshire, Hampshire and Kent, with Mike District 1050. Divided into six teams rotating between different booths, they helped community health workers in 18 different areas. On that one National Immunisation Day (NID), Lucknow alone had 2,728 polio booths and 1,711 house-to-house teams; 822,211 children were immunised. Mike returned to India at the beginning of October for another NID.
