Geoff's Report for 2016-2017 My induction as President was delayed until 19th July 2016 largely due to our club’s substantial involvement with the Rotary organised event called RYLA. This was successfully completed early in July. With the changeover to Gavin Green on the 20th June 2017, I was effectively a President for just 11 months although officially from 1/7/16 to 1/7/17!

Welcome to ClubRunner Posted by Dave Wylie Well it has taken some time but we now have Club Runner up and working and this Keyway has been produced using Club Runner and the individual records of all members and friends of Howick Rotary.

John Osborne made the presentation on behalf of our club. They provide a fantastic service to our community.
