Forum History
The Forum was founded in 1967 when a group of Rotarians invited men from Ripon and District to an inaugural meeting at the Ripon YMCA. They proposed the formation of a non-sectarian, non-political organisation to encourage retired and semi-retired men to meet for friendship and learning. In 2009 it was decided to open up the Forum to Ladies and now a typical attendance of around 40 enjoy a wide range of speakers, many of whom donate their fees to charity.
