Dog Day 2017 was a resounding success with well over 3000 visitors and their dogs resulting in over £21,000 has been raised for local charities.

Over the next few days we will be posting photographs of the day but our thanks to very one who came, our sponsors and the many volunteers who made it the day such a success, plus the real stars on the day, the dogs!

Diary Date: Ludlow Dog Day 2018 will be on Sunday July 22nd.

After a very active and productive presidential year, Fiona Jacklin has handed over the annual presidency of Ludlow Rotary club to her Vice President Angus Kerr and Sarah Lowe has stepped up to become Vice President. In her speech to fellow Rotarians Fiona said, “I’m very proud to have served as President of this important institution for the last year.  Rotary is the largest voluntary service organisation worldwide. The Ludlow branch is particularly active in supporting and complementing local charities, including Megan Baker House, Severn Hospice, Canine partner, PDSA and others.”

“Money to support these organisations was raised by Ludlow Rotary from events such as Dog Day 2016 and the Pimms stall, for which I want to sincerely thank the townsfolk Ludlow and surrounding towns and villages.”

She confided that the very successful Ludlow Rotary Cares event is based on Dragons “borrowed” from another Rotary club.

Fiona went on to say that she has thoroughly enjoyed her year as President of Ludlow Rotary and is happy to pass on the baton to a capable successor in club Vice President Angus Kerr.

Angus first joined Rotary in Aberdeen and during a recent interview he said, “Joining Rotary gave me opportunities to work with the local community, and to make new friends.”

He went on to say that, “It’s these aspects of fellowship and working with and for each other to help groups across the community which appeal to me, and this holds true still in Ludlow Rotary Club”. I’m very much looking forward to building on Fiona’s successful period in office”.
