The Rotary Club of Gibraltar celebrated their Gala Dinner on 4th July at the Rock Hotel.   The event was extremely well attended by Rotarians and their guests. The Governor, Sir Robert Fulton (KBE, RM); his wife, Lady Fulton; Captain Timothy Cumming (the ADC); Commander Britsh Forces; Adrian Bell and his wife Hayley Bell were amongst the distinguished guests present on the occassion.

The evening in addition to being a major charity fund raiser also traditionally signals the annual change in the leadership of the Gibraltar Rotary Club. Raju Alwani formally took over the reins as President from Bea Adams.

Mr Ian Carpenter, long standing member of the Club was bestowed the Rotary Paul Harris Award.

During the evening President Raju said "I don't believe we are just ordinary people. Today's membership includes business and professional leaders who make critical decisions and influence policy. However, this is not what makes these people special, what makes them stand out is the fact that they give a large amount of their valuable time in order to help those less fortunate than themselves".
