On a perfect Summer evening they came to the Eyton Village Hall, arriving slowly at first then in no time at all filling the Hall, for the Annual Gateway BBQ.
As President Brian ended this thank you speech at the End of year BBQ President Elect Peter stepped forward asking to say a few words. He began by talking about Paul Harris Fellowships and announced that he would be presenting one in a few minutes. He outlined the work that the recipient has done in his local community and has done for Rotary. He then outlined the four years of hard work that had been carried out to secure a $63000 global grant for work in Malawi.
President Brian's end of year BBQ took place, this year at Fordhall Organic Farm near Market Drayton on Wednesday 27th June. The group was welcomed by Charlotte Hollins who runs the enterprise with her brother Ben.
