Fellowship Month
Rotary Recreational Fellowship
Founded by Robert Sutcliffe in 1967
A Brief History of the Fellowship
In 1967 a party of 22 Rotarians from RIBI led by Robert Sutcliffe caravanned to the RI Convention at Nice in the South of France. They enjoyed the fellowship and friendship so much that on their return and with RI approval, they founded ICFR - The International Caravanning Fellowship of Rotarians.
Caravanning with Rotary has grown in popularity through the years, far and wide. Today there are approaching 1500 members in the United Kingdom and many more in associated fellowships in New Zealand, Holland, France and South Africa.
Fellowship and Friendship remains the main aim and this is achieved through an extensive programme of rallies held throughout the British Isles and overseas tours to Continental Europe, New Zealand, South Africa and USA/Canada.
The wide ranging programme includes Rallies at every RI and most Inner Wheel Conventions within Europe, every RIBI and Inner Wheel Conference and a number of District Conferences within the United Kingdom.
There are ICFR groups in nearly every RIBI District and members are invited to all the functions that take place within their District.
Rotarians with Caravans or Motorhomes are invited to join, there is an application form which can be printed out from a later page. The current annual subscription is £10 per family and if you join after 1st September in any year, your first subscription will carry you through to 1st January in the year after next. Subscriptions are payable by Bankers Standing Order.
