We pay tribute to local character Roger Bright

On the weekend of March 21^st 2020 well-known local Roger Bright passed away after a long illness. 

Roger was a great supporter of our Rotary Club, attending many of our events as a photographer for the local press. 

He was Mayor of Knighton 5 times, town councillor for over 30 years and active in the local RAFA for many years. 

He arranged a large range overseas trips for the local community over the years and many remember these with great fondness.

Rotary member Roy Williams put him forward for a Queens honour and Roger was awarded the British Empire Medal in 2015 for his services to the community. 

Roger will remain a colourful character in the memories of many local people.
