A SPECIAL barbecue was held to say thank you to the outgoing president of the Rotary Club of Hart.

Members, friends and family all came together at the event, which was held at West Green House in Hartley Wintney earlier this month, to celebrate former president Mike Shaw, who stood down following two years in the role.

New president Steve Watling, who took over from Mike, said: β€œIt is unusual for a president to serve two successive terms, but Mike stepped up to the plate and served the club magnificently during this time.”
