On the 15th of July last the Rotary Club of Forbes celebrated its 70th Changeover with the induction of Ross Williams as our President for 2017/18, the forty or so members, visiting Rotarians and guests enjoyed a cosy and relaxed atmosphere with a more than adequate 2 course meal supplied by Ashcroft’s Catering this was in spite of the minus temperature outside.Our special guest was Past District Governor Bernie Huxtable and his wife Collina who commented on our excellent choice of venue which was the revamped Garema hall, Garema is of course Ross’s home town.
Outgoing President Peter Norris reported on our achievements and frustrations in 2016/17 and thanked not only our members for their dedication and hard work but also the townspeople of Forbes and district for their ongoing generosity. Other important guests included Clr. Graeme Miller, Mayor of Forbes and his wife Maureen.
Thanks to Leo Butler RC Forbes for this contribution
