The club, which has 52 members, is the largest in Lancashire and is calling for people to become 'friends' of the organisation to help with community work.

A record year of fund raising was celebrated at Clitheroe Rotary Club’s 93rd charter dinner.

The venue was Mitton Hall Hotel and president Ian Tate welcomed around 80 guests including Clitheroe Town Mayor and Clitheroe Rotarian, Mary Robinson, District 1190 Governor, Annette Ramsden, and President of Clitheroe Lions, John Wilkinson.

Thanking all the partners and supporters of rotary for their contribution with the community work of the club, which is the largest in the county, Ian spoke about the various projects carried out on 2026. These included fundraising support of the Venezuelan and Nepal disasters, a successful charity golf, day, market stall and the current Wrap Up East Lancashire winter coat collection.

The countdown is now on to the Clitheroe Community Bonfire, and annual Santa Sleigh tours around the Ribble Valley.
