Welcome to the new Rotary Year!

We had an amazing time of fellowship at President Barry’s house. During this time President Barry laid out his plans for the upcoming year. We ate, drank, reflected on the year and looked forward to the next.

Two of our Rotarians were awarded Paul Harris Fellows. Past President Annette for not only supporting IPP Barry W but also for her dedication and determination to the club. Louise has been in many disctrict roles and has set up Rotary Readers; supports children to improve their reading skills. This PHF was well over due.

Val became our President Nominee.

Annette handed the President baton over to Barry H.

Here Barry is passing on the Past President dongle to Annette.

Every year at handover the Steve Howe Shield for Rotarian of the Year is presented. This year it went to a Rotarian who has put her entire life on hold to help others. Tracey has been selflessly supporting the refugees in Poland and continues to do so. We are very proud of her and definitely deserves this award. Unfortunately she was unable to be with us so her daughter accepted the award on her behalf.
