Welcome to our latest new member Mark Elling from the Trussell Trust who along with Mark Ward gave us such splendid visit to their premises last Saturday.

It was lovely that so many of us were able to pay witness to welcoming Mark at his induction by President Janice.

We are delighted to announce that eRotarian David Pratt has agreed to be the eClub’s Foundation Officer.  David brings a wealth of knowledge on Foundation, the worlds largest charity, having led two successful matched grant applications and created a Foundation Draw for his previous club.
