Frodsham and Helsby are located on the A56 road mid-way between Chester and Warrington, overlooking the Mersey estuary and Liverpool beyond, while to the south and east lies Delamere Forest and the Cheshire Plain. Total population of Frodsham is estimated at 9,000 with Helsby , Kingsley and adjoining areas being around 7,000. The area has been transformed during the last hundred years from mostly an agricultural community, to a predominately professional workforce as a consequence of its proximity to Chester, Runcorn, Warrington and Manchester. Major manufacturing industries in the area are Shell and INEOS Chlor Ltd.(formerly ICI).
The membership of the Rotary Club reflects the area, with the humble agricultural members mixing happily with their professional colleagues. Accountants and Bankers rub shoulders with those from the Legal, Medical and Teaching Professions, and the Food and Construction Industries. All manner of vocations are represented, all the way down to a pig farmer (who is rolling in it!). The club has 44 members and since a fair proportion are former Round Tablers the meetings are lively without being anarchic, respectful to speakers if not always to the President!
The club involves itself locally by helping at the annual Frodsham Carnival, supporting the Life Education caravan, and helping in the local High Schools with c.v. and interview preparation. The Club helps in the Helsby Family Fun Day and the Frodsham Festival in the Park. Its most successful fund-raising event is the annual Sportsman's Dinner.
However, the basis of all thriving Rotary Clubs is Fellowship, and all visiting Rotarians and guests can be assured of a friendly hospitable welcome when visiting our club. Get in touch with us by e-mailing the Hon Secretary using the link below.
