Recognising Peter’s Contribution to Rotary

Peter joined Rotary on 13 December 2007 — nearly 19 years ago — and has made a significant and lasting contribution to our club over that time.

As an active member, Peter has taken on many roles, including Vocational & New Generations Director in 2013–2014, followed by Youth Services Director and Club Services Director for two years.

From July 2018 through to 2022, Peter took on the important role of Bulletin Editor, keeping members informed and connected with all the latest club news and activities. He also produced the District Governor’s Newsletter during Allan Smith’s tenure and was our club photographer for many years. Peter also has a real talent for producing videos, capturing many of the memorable moments and activities of our club.

Peter served for four years on the Board of the Charitable Trust, making another valuable contribution behind the scenes.

More recently, from 2024 to 2026, Peter served on Club Services, where he kept members informed about speakers and club activities, managed RSVPs and liaised with the Golf Club regarding room bookings, menus and all the behind-the-scenes logistics that help our meetings run smoothly.

Peter has also been actively involved in organising social activities and was a keen supporter of Have a Go Sailing.

Over the years, Peter has already received two Paul Harris pins, recognising his outstanding service to Rotary. It is therefore my great pleasure tonight to present Peter with his third Paul Harris pin, in recognition of and thanks for his very significant contribution to the success of our club.

Peter, thank you for everything you have done — and continue to do — for Rotary and for our club.

And a special thank you to Angela as well for all her support over the years.
