Happy Birthday Llanelli!
Llanelli Rotary is the second club in Southern Wales District to celebrate 100 years of serving the community in this Centenary Year for Wales. Celebrations have been taking place throughout April and May with a Cente- nary Dinner in the club’s home venue of the Stradey Park Hotel on Saturday 7 April. The event was attended by Rotary Great Britain and Ireland President Denis Spiller, District Governor Maggie Hughes and Rotarians far and wide. The historic Llanelly House was the venue for a Gin and Tapas event on 12
