Welcome to the Rotary Club of Flemington Kensington Inc.  Established in March 1987, we are the inner Melbourne club based just 5kms from the city and serving the communities of Flemington, Kensington, West Melbourne, Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds.  When chartered, we were the first club in our district to meet for breakfast, meeting the needs of our members who were mostly local businessmen.
Our 36 current members come from varied occupations and backgrounds.
We now meet fortnightly: on the 1st Wednesday for breakfast, and on the 3rd Wednesday for dinner, suiting the needs of members.   Attendance at every meeting is not compulsory.                                     READ MORE
