At the heart of England, covering Birmingham and the West Midlands, including parts of Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire.

District 1060 was one of the 6 RIBI districts originally comprising District 10 which in turn, was responsible for one of the biggest community service projects of that period.

Here are the details -

A proposal to open a Rotary Boys House at Weston-super-Mare was made at District level in February 1923. By May, this large house in South Road had been purchased by money raised by the Clubs of District 10, and opened for holidays for socially disadvantaged children aged between 9 and 14 from Bristol and the Midlands. A per capita levy of 2/6d was made by each Rotarian member of the District. The House was a splendid example of service to the community, and continued until 1976 , when inflation, social changes and legislation and the need for extensive repairs made it impossible to continue its work. In all, almost 30,000 boys benefited from holidays from the scheme. The proceeds from the sale of the House are now held by the Rotary Holidays for Children Trust, administered by one Trustee from each of the original participating Districts (now known as 1060, 1100, 1170, 1200, 1210 and 1290).
