New President for Watton Rotary Club

Andrew Barwood will serve as President for the next 12 months


Early in July the Rotary Club were pleased to welcome our new President  for the year 2025/26. The chain of office was handed over by outgoing President Francis Ulrych, who seemed relieved to pass on the responsibility!

In turn Andrew handed over the office of 'President Elect' to Keith Thomas, who will become President of the Club in July 2026.

Andrew thanked Francis for his excellent work as the Club's President during the previous year, and presented him with a certificate recognising his achievements. Our new President hopes to continue with the Club's support of the local community, and hopefully gain some new members to the Rotary Club, to help us with our work.
