Paul Batterham Installed as New President of Priory Rotary

Paul Batterham has been installed as the new President of Priory Rotary, following a lively handover ceremony at Heacham Manor attended by 50 members, partners and guests. Outgoing President Jonathan Holmes, reflecting on his time in the chair, said “It’s been another busy but enjoyable year, when we’ve combined great fellowship with doing a lot of good. One way or another we’ve been able to raise over £35,000 for the benefit of over 40 charities, and also focussed on youth and environmental projects. I’m very proud of these achievements, but they could not have happened without the incredible support you’ve all given to me and our Committee chairs.”

Thanking Jonathan for his efforts, Paul set out his priorities: increasing social activities for members and partners and recruiting new members so that Priory can continue the good work the club does both Internationally and for the local community.

The evening was enlivened by a ditty from the Priory choir, a sketch based on the Two Ronnies about the Rotary hierarchy, and dancing to music performed by Rowena Senido.
