Brecon Rotary Club has welcomed its new President for the coming year.

At the final meeting of the current Rotary year, Hayley Ridge-Evans took over as President for the 2024-2025 year, which begins on July 1 2024.

At the handover night, the presidential chain was passed to Hayley from outgoing President Carol Herbert. 

During her year as President, Carol was pleased to have welcomed many new members as well as engage with the local community. This was through the Community Chest Scheme, Easter Eggs Collections and litter picks. There was also support for local schools and residential homes with environmental projects and the donation of teddy bears to Brecon War Memorial Hospital. 

The club was also pleased to be able to recognise six members of the club with their Long Service Awards - a fantastic total of 195 years’ service between them. 

Hayley Ridge-Evans said: “We are very lucky to have such a wealth of knowledge and experience amongst our members.”

Brecon Rotary meets each Monday at 6:30pm at the Wellington Hotel, Brecon.
