The Rotary year ending on the June 30, 2023 proved to be a fantastic 12 months for Rotary and its increasing membership, with the club being able to restore May Day Fayre to its traditional beginning of summer slot as well as working with Santa to facilitate his visits to the streets of the parish.

In addition the club has been able to support the worldwide Rotary effort to assist the people of Ukraine and closer to home many local charities have benefited as well from its own Yes We Can programme which goes from strength to strength and means Leighton Linslade has become a centre of excellence for inclusion sport.
