During the year, the club had financed three teenagers to attend Rotary’s Young Leadership programme and at our last meeting , the lads – Henry, Arlo and Evan – with parents in tow came along to talk about their experiences. They spoke enthusiastically about how the week had taught them the value of teamwork, and leadership within it, but had also challenged some of their fears. As one put it “I don’t think I could have stood here and talked to such a large group had I not had the experience of the course”. Their advice to anyone who might be thinking of attending next year was simple – “Just do it. You may be taken out of your comfort zone but, most importantly, it’s great fun”.
