Why – Investing in all our futures.

This course is considered to be the finest of its type in 'Rotary In Britain & Ireland'.

 
Applicants must be able to commit themselves to the whole week.  The course is designed on a basis of team competition with each day building on the knowledge and experience gained in the previous days.  Any time lost is to the detriment of the awardee, the team and the whole group.

It is essential to have a reserve awardee to cover for last minute illness etc.  Perhaps this year’s reserve could become next year’s priority choice.
