President’s Welcome

Hello and a warm welcome to the Mirfield Rotary Club!

I’m Orlando, and I’m proud to be serving as Club President for 2025. This year, my focus is all about making Rotary more open, more active, and — above all — more fun. We’ll be expanding our Friends of Rotary network, hosting more inclusive events, and creating new opportunities for people of all backgrounds to get involved in meaningful, local initiatives.

We’re planning a packed calendar of community activities, from charity BBQs, afternoon teas, and musical evenings to open events where anyone can come along and see what Rotary is really about — with a touch of magic thrown in (yes, I’m a member of The Magic Circle, so prepare to be surprised!).

Alongside the fun, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves to support local charities, environmental projects, and activities that boost wellbeing and mental health across our community. Whether it’s cleaning up green spaces or simply enjoying good company by the canal, every contribution makes a difference.

Rotary has always been about connection — and this year, we’re making it easier than ever to get involved. Whether you’re looking to give back, make new friends, or just try something new, we’d love to welcome you to one of our events. Let’s do some good, share a few laughs, and make this a year to remember.

Here’s to a year of purpose, partnership, and plenty of fun.

Orlando Gubbini
President, Mirfield Rotary Club 2025-26
