Rotary Club of Sowerby Bridge

The Rotary Club met on

Monday, November 4 at The Sportsmans Inn, in Greetland. We had a two course meal with tea and coffee. Alex Gyte, who was the co-ordinator of the National Citizenship Scheme in Calderdale re-visited the club with three of the 10 students we funded onto the NCS programme. Alex recapped on the summer experiences and projects and the students spoke about how they found it, what they liked and disliked about it. They definitely all learned from it and have developed themselves, their skills and their personalities. We wish them the best of luck in their future
