Celebration of Rotary 2026
Leyland Rotary and Preston South Rotary came together at Farington Lodge Hotel in Leyland to celebrate what Rotary stands for around the world and to enjoy fun and fellowship.
There was much fun and laughter at our Celebration of Rotary event at Farington Lodge Hotel on Friday 6 March 2026 when Rotarians from neighbouring clubs, families, friends and guests came together to enjoy a lovely meal and good entertainment from 'The Others' who took us on a musical journey through the decades from the 1960s to the present-day.
The karaoke talents of Leyland Rotarian John provided additional entertainment with his rendition of 'Sweet Caroline'.
The event celebrated the work done by Rotarians in our local communities and around the world and what can be achieved when we UNITE FOR GOOD.
