Vale of Llangollen Rotary to close its doors for good

As of Monday (July 1), the club will cease to exist, with members saying its 'operations are no longer feasible'.

The Vale of Llangollen Rotary Club launched in September 2022, replacing the old Llangollen Rotary Club which had existed for over 60 years.

But, in a shock announcement on June 28, club president Lee Todd confirmed that the new-look rotary would also now be waving goodbye to the town.

He added that it was a decision that had 'not been made lightly' by all involved.

Mr Todd said: "It is with deep regret that we announce the closure of the Llangollen Rotary Club, effective July 1st.

"This decision was not made lightly, and we understand it will come as a disappointment to many. After careful consideration and deliberation, the membership has determined that continuing operations is no longer feasible.

"We are deeply grateful to all those who have supported the Rotary Club here in Llangollen.

"We are particularly proud of our commitment to supporting local charities, and we are pleased to announce that all funds raised by Llangollen Rotary Club will be distributed to them in July.

"While the Llangollen Rotary Club will be closing its doors, the spirit of service that has defined our organisation will live on through the continued work of these worthy charities.

"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have been a part of the Llangollen Rotary Club journey and Thanks again for all your support."
