Fifteen new members, and a district award to show for it

The award winning Rotary Club of Consett has been busy supporting community groups over the last few months.

The club won the district recruitment award for attracting 15 new members last year.

Members have been out and about in the community supporting both the Tantobie and Castleside scarecrow competitions, and holding a hook a duck stall at the Consett family fun day at Consett Rugby Club.

The club’s successful golf days have also allowed it to make sizeable donations to Willow Burn Hospice, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Glenroyd House, the Creating Calm women’s group and two local prostate cancer support groups, along with a race night organised by Consett Golf Club in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
