Burnham-On-Sea Rotary Club welcomes new President

Burnham-On-Sea Rotary Club has a new President after outgoing President Roy Twining handed over his chain of office to Jim Tancock last week.

During a ceremony at the Battleborough Grange Hotel, Jim thanked Roy for all his hard work, which had ensured that under his leadership the Club had completed another successful year.

Jim has been a Rotarian for many years and his commitment to the club has earned him the respect of fellow members who were only too pleased to elect him as their new President.

Jim said: "I am delighted to become the new President of our wonderful club. It's going to be a very exciting year."

"We're hoping to try out a lot of new things and in particular I have an interest in local disabled children and in young carers, many of whom do not receive the help and recognition they deserve."

"I am hoping that the Club may be able to undertake projects which will make a real difference in these areas. We are looking for inspired and enthusiastic men and women to join our club."

"We have a lot of fun and really enjoy ourselves, on top of all the fundraising we do, and would love to hear from anyone interested in joining us and making a real difference to their community."
