The outgoing president thanked everyone for their support through an unprecedented time with Covid-19 restricting fundraising and events. Nonetheless he had been able to make donations of £750 each to his charities Molly Olly’s Wishes and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

His final act was to give retiring treasurer Peter Clayton a Sapphire Paul Harris award after 17 years as club treasurer.

Paul is an experienced Rotarian who was District Governor in 2015-6 and formerly postmaster at Warwick.

The new president challenged members to each bring in a new member, “Grow More to Do More” and was delighted to be able to induct a new member Dick Dixon formerly of Coventry North RC, known locally as organiser of Warwick Folk Festival.

Paul’s charities for the year will be Myton Hospices and Prostate Cancer UK.
