A NEW President has taken charge of the Rotary Club of Otley Chevin.

Stuart Angus has succeeded outgoing President Tom Liptrot in the role, and will hold the position for the next four months.

Two other members have also been lined up to serve for four month periods apiece following Mr Angus' tenure.

Mr Liptrot, meanwhile, presented the President's Award to Andrew Lund for his "outstanding performance" as club secretary.

The club is preparing for its annual Charity Golf Day which this year will be held at Bradford Golf Club, Hawksworth, on Thursday, August 4.

The event has raised more than £20,000 for good causes over the seven years it has been running.

Any local businesses interested in sponsoring a hole, for £50, or getting involved should contact Brendan Cunningham on (0113) 267 6578.
