Rotary at work in South Shropshire – We meet at 7.00 PM at the Feathers Hotel on the 2nd and the 4th Tuesday of the month.
Last Sunday September 23rd, Ludlow Rotarian Barry Forrester was installed as a lay Cannon of Hereford Cathedral. A much deserved appointment recognising Barry’s great contribution to Hereford Cathedral, Life and Learning at St. Laurence’s, and previously at St Alban’s Cathedral. For more detail go to the Hereford Cathedral website.
Barry expressed his thanks to all those fellow Rotarians who supported him by attending the service.

For the second year running a February Club meeting took the form of a Rabbie Burns themed evening attended by some 38 members and guests which was expertly organized by Angus and Philippa Kerr. Dress code was “wear some tartan” Members responded in different ways including 3 kilts.
After the Selkirk Grace read by Philippa, the haggis was duly welcomed by Angus who offered a fluent and entertaining rendition of ‘To a Haggis’.
Our meal comprised haggis, neeps and tatties followed by cranachan during which each table wrestled with a Burns Quiz.
For entertainment, 3 members read some of Burns’ poems and Robert Hodge impressed us with his vivid rendition, from memory, of Burns’ Holy Willie’s Prayer.
Tables were then moved back and the evening was rounded off – to everyone’s surprise – with some spirited Scottish dancing.
