The continued celebrations of the centenary of the Rotary Club of Guernsey was enjoyed at a special 1920’s themed charter night celebration held at St Pierre Park Hotel which was attended by over 175 Rotarians and their guests.

We were delighted to welcome guests from our sponsor Club in Bournemouth as well as Rotarians from London, Belfast and France and also many of our sponsors and supporters. A very enjoyable and fitting occasion to commemorate the heritage of the Club and to look forward with confidence to the future of providing continued service to the community.
