JOHN ALCOCK

Wensleydale Rotarians turned out in force - and travelled three hours by minibus - for John Alcock's induction into Sale Rotary Club. John, a second generation Rotarian, transfered to Sale after 12 years with the North Yorkshire club. He's pictured below with Sale president Harvey Kesler and Wensleydale president Phil Oliver - who took the opportunity to honour John's service with a Paul Harris Fellowship - one of the highest awards in Rotary.

SANTA IN SALE
