The first Bob Mills Memorial Award goes to...

The late Rotarian and Past President Bob Mills was revered both by his local Llandudno Club, and throughout the wider Rotary District 1180, for his selfless - and largely backstage - work for Rotary. After his death in 2017, his family kindly funded a Bob Mills Memorial Award in the form of an annual bursary to encourage local musical talent, reflecting Bob’s own love of music and the “boy band” of his youth.

The first recipient of this award is Katie Hayward of Ysgol John Bright School. Kate’s talent for song expresses itself in many ways, most recently in the role of Charity (Chairy) Barnum, wife and saviour of Phineas Taylor Barnum, in the Llandudno Youth Music Theatre production of “Barnum” that took Venue Cymru and all North Wales by storm this weekend.

The £250 award was presented to Katie by Past President Rotarian Steve Butler at the opening night performance of “Barnum”. Katie will spend the award on further vocal and theory tuition.

Congratulations Katie!
