We meet on Tuesdays at 6.15pm, or earlier, for informal social time and dinner, then commence our formal meeting at 7.00pm. We now meet at Turramurra Bowling Club, 181 Bobbin Head Road, North Turramurra (corner of Apps Avenue). There is a car parking entrance off Apps Avenue. (When coming from Burns Road, continue to come along Bobbin Head Road. There is no right hand turn into Apps Ave so keep going and take the next right turn into Keats Rd, then right again into Shelley Rd, and right again into Apps Ave. Then turn right off Apps Ave into the Club's carpark).

After social time and dinner from approx 6.15 to 7.00pm, formal meetings commence promptly at 7.00pm and conclude by 8.15pm. At most meetings, we have a guest speaker who talks about an area of vocational or community interest. Meetings also include brief announcements about on-going projects and activities – and we have some fun! At least once each month, our meeting is a social one.

If you would like to attend a meeting, or if you are a visiting Rotarian, please contact us before 10.00am on Tuesday to let us know you will attend so we can greet you on arrival.  Dinner and drinks are individually ordered and paid for when ordering at the Bowling Club on Tuesday evenings.

History of Turramurra Rotary

The Rotary Club of Turramurra was chartered in November 1968 when Hornsby Club agreed to cede territory. Ten members of Hornsby, all being from the Turramurra/Wahroonga business community, and three members from other Rotary Clubs became part of the 27 charter members.  This unusual situation gave the new Club a flying start.

During its years of service, the Club has initiated many projects - some of which have been adopted across by other Rotary Clubs Australia. A member, Don Trood, conceived the now nationally adopted Pride of Workmanship Awards which recognise exceptional service of individuals in local business.

The Club's Trees for Survival shade house project received international recognition as the best Rotary project supporting the environment. It was taken up by over 300 Clubs.  Turramurra members were prime movers in the formation of PROBUS clubs in Australia and New Zealand. This organisation now has 195,000 members. Turramurra's approach to its Anti-graffiti programme has, at the request of the Government, been rolled out across NSW.
