This week (18th November)we had a presentation from one of our newest members, telling us about her life and career. Sue Cottingham was born in Guildford but grew up in Ghana, where her father worked as a geologist. Returning to the UK the family lived in St Albans and Sue went on to study Law before becoming a Chartered Accountant in London. Marriage led to a move to Harrogate. Sue worked (and continues to work part-time) as a Financial Director for a company in the drinks business. Now in semi-retirement with a son, a daughter and 4 grandchildren, Sue remains busy with membership of Rotary, Harrogate U3A and Knaresborough Historical Society

ROTARY IS NOT JUST FOR MEN!

Just to prove that Rotary is not an all-male organisation, it was all change at Knaresborough Rotary on 1st July as James Moorhouse handed over the Presidency to Helen Westmancoat. Helen will be succeeded as President in 2025 by Deborah Wilson.

Knaresborough Rotarians had an enjoyable visit to Henshaw's Arts and Crafts Centre with a guided tour and a meal last evening. Thanks to Gemma Young for the tour and Darrell and staff for the excellent food.

Each year Knaresborough Rotary pays for an away day for local Young Carers Day Out.

A much-loved Knaresborough landmark will soon be back opposite the bus station. The ‘Zoo’ in question is one of Knaresborough’s Trompe L’oeil paintings.
