WHERE IS ARBURY?
The Rotary Club
of Arbury is part of Rotary International’s District 1060.
District 1060 is at the
heart of England, covering Birmingham and the West Midlands, including parts of
Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire. From
Lichfield in the North to Shipston-on-Stour in the South, from Rugby in the East
to Bewdley in the West it serves
those multi-racial communities which are truly at England’s heart.
The Rotary Club of Arbury is based in Nuneaton,
which is a Warwickshire town very close to the geographical centre of England
and in George Eliot country.
The
name Arbury comes
from the local Arbury Hall, known as the Gothic Gem of the Midlands, and the
home of the Newdegate family for centuries.
 The author George Eliot ( Mary
Ann Evans) was born in 1819 on the Arbury Estate and lived in Griff House ( now
a hotel) for 21 years. She is commemorated in many ways in the town. The large
George Eliot Hospital and the nearby Mary Ann Evans Hospice are living memorials
to her and her book titles and their characters feature widely as names in the
town, the schools and hospital wards; there is a nice statue to her memory in
the town centre.
Rotary International
is the world's largest service organisation for business and professional
people, with some 1.2 million members in over 200 countries world-wide.
Great Britain and Ireland
has over 56,000 Rotarians in 1838 Clubs, helping those in need and working
towards world understanding and peace. 'Service above Self' is the
organisation's motto.
