Before handing over, John Taylor presented cheques to his nominated charities after raising more than £3,000 over the year. A cheque had already been presented to the “The Children’s Hyperinsulinism Charity”, Great Ormond Street Hospital, at their Conference; and another cheque was handed to Sam Ballantyne of the local branch of Cancer Research UK.

Finally, the club wanted to purchase a set of books for Mencap, and Cath Errington returned to accept a cheque which will allow them to start a Book Club for their members in Warwick.

Business done John then handed over the chain of office to John Hibben and wished him well. J

John Hibben has been an active member of Rotary since 2003, he used to work as an Electrical Engineer with East Midlands Electricity, and since retiring has been a Committee member of Jephson Housing Association.

John said that his priorities will be for the club to continue “To Make a Difference” to people’s lives, and maintain our close links with the community in Warwick.

John’s charities for the year will be The Stroke Association and Macmillan Cancer Support, which both have a personal connection to his family.

John is keen to encourage more people from Warwick to join the club to lend a hand with the events organised by the club such as the forthcoming Thai festival and Town Bonfire which raise funds for local charities.
