The Rotary Club of Stowmarket Gipping Valley held their annual changeover evening where the outgoing President (Rod Curtis) handed over to the new one (Kevin Widdick).
In his opening remarks Kevin gave his predecessor some great praise.
Rod had done a two year stint as President and the club had gone from strength to strength under his leadership.
In addition to this the club also welcomed two new members. Phil Smith and Alan Cox were given their Rotary badges by outgoing President Rod Curtis (pictured above).
The club also participated in the annual Stowmarket Carnival where a barrow load of drinks, kindly donated by members and supporters, was raffled.
This was organised by fundraising head club member Margaret Woollam and raised over £300 which will go to local charities. The weather was not all that kind on the day and the gazebo was nearly blown away by the high winds.
The Rotary Club meets every other Thursday evening, sometimes by Zoom and if you want a taster of what they are about whether you be young or old, male or female you would be very welcome.
