We had a very convivial meeting with some members of Taunton Vale Rotary Club at the Luttrell Arms in Dunster on Monday evening. The weather was perfect and the Boules area in the Luttrell Arms Secret Garden is a lovely setting for a sporting contest. There was a great turnout from both clubs!
We have not been very successful in our skittles matches against Taunton Vale so our hopes for a better result with the shiny balls were high. Minehead did well in the first round and a premature  glimmer of excitement developed, only for it to be dashed by Taunton's strong performance in the second round and their victory overall.

The Principal of the West Somerset College, Zoe Stucki, was pleased to meet with Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Minehead before the end of term to discuss how some of the Rotary Youth programmes could be included in next terms syllabus.  
The meeting between Zoe and her Assistant Head Teacher, Joel Cornish and Rotarians, Geoff Dibble and John Baker was very productive.  Students will be encouraged to take part in some of the programmes and Rotary will help the college to develop these.

All very encouraging for the wider development of our young people.

The Rotary year runs from 1st July to 30th June and at our meeting on Monday we had our Club Handover to mark new Club officers formally taking up their posts.
John Baker, President for 2023-2024, handed over to the new President Andrew De Mora for 2024-2025. Andrew De Mora welcomed Richard Robbins as Vice President, to be President  for 2025-2026.
New officers are in place in some of the other roles in the Club and the team are looking forward to an exciting year.
