History of the Rotary Bell

Rotary Club of London-Lambeth
History of the Rotary BellIn 1922, U.S. Rotarians organised an attendance contest; the challenge was that the losing clubs would join in giving the winning club a prize. The Rotary Club of New York City was declared the winner and to them was awarded as a prize a bell from a popular patrol boat, which was placed on wood that came from HMS "Victory", Admiral Nelson's vessel at the battle of Trafalgar. Since then, the bell used in Rotary meetings started to represent, as on the ships, order, discipline and the time to guide us through the weekly hour and a half meetings. The bell informs us with its sound the beginning of the Rotary meeting and at the closure of the regular club meeting. ![]() |

2024 HarvestFestLONDON-LAMBETH ROTARY CLUB AGAIN HOSTS THE HARVESTFEST PANCAKE BREAKFAST Once again, for their 28th consecutive year, the London-Lambeth Rotary Club hosted the Pancake Breakfast on Lambeth’s Harvestfest weekend. In all, there were about 370 people served. The Club would like to thank the Lambeth Harvestfest Committee for once again providing Rotary with this annual opportunity to serve the Lambeth community. The Lambeth Rotarians would also like to thank Rob Annable of the Village Pantry for providing the scrumptious sausages; Lambeth’s Tim Hortons for providing the coffee; Clarke’s Maple Syrup for providing the real maple syrup to make the pancakes tasty; and the Thompson’s of Can-Am RV Centre for providing the portable cooking grills and the trailer awning to keep the cooks dry during the rain. All these generous donations allowed Rotary to hand over even more of the breakfast proceeds to the Harvestfest Committee for use in next year’s Harvestfest. The Club also participated in the parade with a float promoting Rotarys new motto THE MAGIC OF ROTARY. ![]() ![]() |

Lambeth Christmas Lights![]() THE LAMBETH LIGHTS HAVE ARRIVED! Last spring, the Rotary Club of London-Lambeth kicked off a community-wide fund-raising project to replace the (tired) Main Street festive lights. Within weeks, Lambeth-and-area businesses, community groups and individuals came together and raised thousands of dollars to fund not only the newly designed fixtures but also their initial installation costs. The lights, sourced within Canada, have arrived and have passed their tests. Keep an eye out for the lights on Main St. shortly after Remembrance Day (November 11). Congratulations and thanks to the many generous donors and to the Lambeth Rotarians who helped make this happen. Merry Christmas, Lambeth! CLICK READ MORE to see list of Donors |

Police Chief Duncan
Posted by David Brent on Apr 15, 2013
Chief Duncan described Policing in London and the challenges that are faced by our community. London is a relatively safe city but we do have to an extent all the concerns of larger cities. He emphasized that an ever increasing amount of police time is spent on dealing with citizens with mental problems. Policing is a vital part of a cities needs and London’s Police force is one of the best.
