On 29th June, with a dress code of Hawaiian shirts, Watton Rotary Club celebrated another successful year for the club, as outgoing President Mike Gicquel handed over the reins to incoming President Shaun Yeoman. Similarly Shaun handed over the Vice President's medal to Francis Ulrych whilst Vivian Gicquel handed over the President's Lady's jewel to Rebecca Yeoman.
Also during the meeting , the club held its 100 club draw, organised with great efficiency by Andrew Barwood and Pam Baktis. Each year this draw, open to members and non-members, raises several hundreds of pounds for our Charity Account.
The colourful evening was rounded off in great style with some amusing video clips provided by Keith Thomas.
