This evening visit on Monday 27th March will be a great opportunity for local Rotarians to meet up and discuss local projects, whilst enjoying some of the new brews being produced by the Brewery.

As part of our continued support for Ukraine the club is exploring a twinning association with the Rotary Club of Uzhgorod-Skala, in Ukraine.  The city of Uzhgorod is situated in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, near the borders of Slovakie & Hungary.  Our President Angela and their President, Viktor Medvid, have already exchanged greetings via email and we aim to set up a Whats App group to swap ideas and discuss ways we can help them.
