Club President 2022-23

Chris Bryan-Smith is a relative newcomer to Rotary as he’s only been a member for about seven years but he feels he is ready to take on the roll as President. Chris said, “I’m equally honoured and apprehensive about following in the footsteps of such esteemed club leaders and I just hope I can rise to the challenge and take the Club forward. There seems to be a continuous quest for new members but I intend to consolidate with the members we have, work in the community and hopefully attraction rather than promotion will bring people in. I think that if people know what we are doing, and what we are doing appears worthwhile – people will wish to help. Let’s hope so.”

Borderland Rotary ..

Borderland Rotary was founded in 1990 with evening meetings in the Oswestry area.  We meet once a month to discuss Club business and projects.  There are also regular social and other activities.

Our members are drawn from Oswestry and the surrounding areas of Shropshire and Wales.

We are a dual gender club and actively support the inclusion of lady Rotarians. 

Guests attend our social meetings, frequently with a visiting speaker.
