IT was good to be part of the Winsford Town Mayor’s Oscars evening and many congratulations to all the winners.

It was especially pleasing to present the Young Person of the Year award to Max Johnson.

Many people think that Rotary is an organisation for somewhat elderly gentlemen. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rotary is for people of all ages, male and female. We have RotaKids groups in primary schools where children learn the importance of serving their community and how to help those in it who are less fortunate than themselves.

We have Interact and Rotaract clubs for teenagers and young people who continue this same community ethos whilst enjoying a full and active social scene.

This is also evident in the 35,000 Rotary clubs spread throughout the world where 1.2 million men and women work tirelessly to improve their community – whether it be local, national or international.

Rotary is an organisation for people of all backgrounds and all ages and people from all backgrounds and all ages are welcome to become involved.

Ron Attley President, Rotary Club of Winsford & Middlewich
