WELCOME Rtn CHRISSIE LEES - At Thursday's meeting 23rd October 2025 - our latest Rotarian was inducted into the Rotary Club of Towcester. Seen here being welcomed by President John and being presented with her badge.
At our Thursday 4th September meeting Rtn Melissa visited the Club with Ted James Anthony, her new bouncy baby boy, who was born on Sunday, 24th August. At the meeting, he was 11 days old and was made an Honorary Member of the Rotary Club of Towcester, bringing down the average of the Club quite considerably.
Rtn Melissa who works in the Healthcare Industry was a 2024 RYLA candidate, sponsored by the Towcester Club and was sent on this life changing course to Grafham Water. She says the experience was life changing, giving her so much more confidence in dealing with people, an important perquisite in her career. Melissa returned from the RYLA course a different person and decided to join the Towcester Club along with her fellow RYLA candidate Rtn Tom.
Both glowing examples of Young Rotary in Action.
Honorary Ted was well received at the meeting and kept his cool when being presented with his Honorary Certificate and is being considered as a RYLA Candidate in 2043.
The Club wished Rtn Melissa and Hon Rotarian Ted all the best for the future.

Becket Derby Day
It’s not all about raising money, Rotarians can have fun as well as supporting other clubs and raising money at the same time. The Rotary Club of Towcester attended the Becket ‘Derby Day’ organized by the Rotary Club of Northampton Becket at the Horton ‘Race Course’, well 6 painted lanes about 10 metres long in a field. Anyone could enter and be a ‘jockey’, ‘owner’ or ‘trainer’, you could even sponsor a race! with a guest apprearence of our District Governor Moria Penny.
The going was good to firm despite early morning rain, however the course was under cover which helped. Down the course there were a number of jumps that jockeys had to negotiate. With 6 horses per race luckily there were no fallers.
The Becket Club provided an excellent BBQ prepared and cooked by Rtn Terry and his team. There was also a bar providing liquid refreshments, a raffle and a Blind Auction.
The event attracted over 80 participants including the District Governor Rtn Moira and Assistant District Governor Rtn Dawn.
It is congratulations to Northampton Becket who raised over £6k for their charity in Malawi and towards another ambulance to the Ukraine and a fun afternoon was had by all.
