President's Handover BBQ at Horsforth Golf Club 25th June

The first Barbecue at Horsforth Golf Club was a great success as the menu below shows.

President Alicia summarised her year which had seen a range of events which have become our main fundraisers: the Easter Egg Hunt in conjunction with Rodley Nature Reserve, the Band Concert where the Town Hall was fuller than it has been for several years and the Beer Festival with our partners Guiseley Theatre and Rwaron St Peters Parish Church. New to the calendar this year was the Ceilidh which has been immediately rebooked for the new Rotary year. The solid support of Club members filling rotas for every occasion received her particular praise as did our suport for her chosen charity Leeds Carers.

Running throughout the evening was a picture show prepared by Alicia of Rotary Year 2025/26 which also included Christmas Lights openings at Yeadon, Rawdon Library and Guiseley as well as the Christmas collection at Morrisons Yeadon.

Incoming President Mark Whitfield who has already played a stirring role substituting at weekly meetings had also had the opportunity to listen and learn from Incoming District Governor David Hartley who appeared out of the blue as a volunteer at the Aireborough Beer Festival. The content of all Club Leaders presentations at the recent Club Assembly had been highly praised by a visiting Assistant Governor and prepared an excellent outline for the coming year - concentration on membership, successful existing and wherever possible new events and the element of fun and camaraderie implicit in all Club meetings and any other occasion when members came together.
