This year's annual Winter Warmth project saw an increase in the need for blankets for the sick and elderly. A number of children were on the lists received from various community churches, the Family in Focus Team and the Clinic. School rain jackets and jerseys have been ordered and will be distributed to children in the first week of the new term Thank you to all who contributed in any way towards this project.

Today - 1st July - sees the start of a new Rotary year. It's also the day our new Club President - Malcolm Bury - takes the reins from Lana Coates, who is very happy to hand over after 2 years in the hot seat. Malcolm's Induction Dinner took place at Coffee Corner on the 14th June - a very enjoyable evening. Stephen Stocks - our Assistant Governor - surprised me with a Paul Harris Award and I feel both honoured and humbled to be recognised in this way. The Rotary Internationa
