SETTLE ROTARY - 2011/12
OUR CLUB is based in the picturesque market town of Settle, in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales. Our members are fortunate indeed to live, work and play in an area noted for its glorious scenery and they are glad to share the experience with visitors to the town and to our club. More about Settle.
OUR MEETINGS are held on a Thursday. We are currently meeting in the Lounge at Townhead Court, Townhead, Settle. This is an Anchor Housing Scheme, a short walk from Settle town centre, just up the hill from the parish church.
OUR CO-PRESIDENTS Chris Wilcock and Brian Jackson send greetings to fellow Rotarians and an invitation to join us for fellowship when you are in the area. (If you are intending to join us, could you please notify Michael Cullingworth (01729 823978)

Settle Rotary Art Competition - Awards 2011
The Rotary Club of Settle has awarded the prizes in its first "Helping Others" Art Competition, sponsored by Goad and Butcher Solicitors. The prize-winners in each Key Stage were given their vouchers for £50 (1st) and £30 (2nd) at Rathmell Primary School, which was the only school to enter this inaugural competition. Headteacher, Christine Boxall, had arranged for the Cave Rescue Organisation, who were the theme of this years competition, to visit the school in the summer. Local artist, Margaret Blackburne, who judged the paintings, said this had shown up in their work and praised their ability to show the members of CRO at work helping others. CRO members Sean Whittle and Pam Hicken thanked the children for their support and reminded them of the many aspects of the teams work. ( www.cro.org.uk )
