Rotarians Celebrate: the Nine Rotary Clubs of West Glamorgan

Rotarians celebrate: the nine Rotary clubs of West Glamorgan came together for a presentation dinner at University College, Swansea, after they had raised a remarkable £25,050 for The Mumbles lifeboat appeal in a grand prize draw. Cliff Morgan, former Welsh rugbv star and now head of BBC outside broadcasting, was guest speaker at the dinner. He was made to work hard that evening; he drew the 16 winning tickets, first and second prize a Vauxhall Nova car. he presented the cheque for the money raised to Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Compston, a depulv chairman of the RNLI, and, as the picture shows, he delivered an amusing speech. Chairman of the Rotary appeal, Jim Paterson, who devised the draw, was naturally delighted with the result.
