The Rotary Club of Formby celebrated its 52nd Charter Night last Friday at Formby Hall Golf Club. President Claire Hocking welcomed RIBI representative David Ellis, District Governor Bob Maskall, family, friends and Club members to the Club's '52nd birthday party'. Claire spoke of the Club's achievements so far this year and events still to come.

After an excellent meal from the kitchens of FHGC the guests were superbly entertained by the Liverpool Show Choir with Musical Director Ros Jones. The choir sang a wide selection of songs from shows and a Beatles medley and had everyone tapping their feet!

The service from FHGC was excellent as usual and the Club would like to thank the staff for their continued support.

The Club has welcomed 7 new members this year. They and existing members are now gearing up for their traditional Christmas activities. It's starts with Village Lights Turn on at the end of November when Father Christmas will be in the village on his Carol Wagon and looking forward to meeting all the children.

The Carol Wagon starts its tours of Formby on 1st December and details of dates and routes will be found on the Club's website from the beginning of November. This year the Club is hoping to have a live feed to their website so folk can see exactly where Father Christmas is.
