Laura Spurs - President 2025-26

The Rotary Club of Witney has entered it’s 71st year and I am honoured to have been asked to become your President for 2025/26. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me to lead our club this year. 

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Immediate Past President, Simon Hamilton for his dedicated service and leadership over the past year. Simon guided us through a very successful year in 2024/25 and I am committed to building on the foundation that I have inherited. 

Our theme for this Rotary year is “Unite for Good” which epitomises the way our club already operates. We are a united and dedicated community group. Whilst there are many ways that Rotary supports International and District priorities, I would like our Rotary Club to focus predominantly on our local community this year, and make a real difference to the lives of those we serve in Witney and the surrounding areas. 

I am encouraging all of our members to actively participate in our upcoming events and projects, as everyone’s involvement is crucial to our ongoing success. In the coming year we will be leading Witney’s Summer Carnival, Witney’s Christmas Light Switch on and are planning another large scale community event for the Spring. We are embracing the new Rotary year with renewed enthusiasm and a shared commitment to service.
