VIVE LE ROTARY

Last weekend the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge played host to nine representatives of the Rotary Club of Bordeaux les Jalles in south-west France. On Saturday their visit to the City of Wells was marked by the outgoing 648^th Mayor - Rotarian Steward Cursley - and by Town Crier Len Sweales. Just before making his traditional proclamations Town Crier Len entertained a large crowd in the Market Square with a special greeting to our French visitors who  were led by Marie Rouquet (current President) and Chantal Gaidot (who will assume the presidency of the Jalles Club on 1 July). Then followed guided tours of Wells Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace and Gardens.
