A Brace of Rotary Presidents


The Rotary Club of Ashburton Buckfastleigh for one brief moment in time had a brace of Presidents at the annual Handover Lunch at the Furzeleigh Mill Hotel Ashburton.

Outgoing 2011-2012 President Rtn. Graham Smart handed over the Chain of Office to incoming 2012-2013 President Rtn. Philip Vogel, at the Tuesday weekly lunch meeting of the Club that included members and their guests.

Over the last year the Club under Rtn. Graham raised funds amongst other causes for Help the Heroes, Childrens’ Hospice South West, Farms for City Children, Shelterbox and Ashburton Rollers. Several of the year’s highlights were the South-West Premier of ‘War Horse’ at the Apollo Paignton, Artex and the Choral Concert at  Buckfast Abby and Members enjoyed a charity meal at the Ashburton Cookery School to aid The Bank Youth Project.
