Pete Dop, President of Prestatyn Rotary Club presented a cheque for £1000 to Prestatyn Town Football Club to provide facilities to extend their provision for young people.

As Prestatyn Town FC continues to grow, they are expanding opportunities for junior and women’s football within our community. This donation will help to improve the quality of training sessions by investing in essential equipment that can be shared across multiple age groups and teams. The aim is to create a structured, enjoyable, and professional environment where players can develop their skills, confidence, fitness, and teamwork.

By investing in this equipment, the club can continue building participation in grassroots football while providing a safe and positive environment for players of all abilities.

Last Friday October 9th Prestatyn Rotary Club celebrated its 99th birthday, having been Chartered in 1927. Prestatyn Rotarians enjoyed an excellent meal at The Beaches Hotel Prestatyn, along with their guests and Rotarians from other clubs which included some from Rhyl Rotary, our "mother" club.

We were delighted to welcome the Governor of our Rotary District, Rotarian Andrew Allen, who proposed a toast to Prestatyn Rotary, congratulating them on their long history of fund raising and involvement in the local community and in particular the annual Christmas float which brings so much joy and festive spirit to young and old alike.

The guest speaker was Rotarian Steve Martin, who spoke about his life, how he was introduced to the Rotary movement, and a very personal and harrowing recollection of the 1985 Broadwater Farm riots with the sad death of local woman Cynthia Jarrett and the murder of P.C. Keith Blakelock.

Rotarian's Andrew and Steve are both moving on to new roles. Andrew with Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland, and Steve in a role with Rotary International.

A charity raffle was held in aid of the St Kentigern Hospice in St Asaph. £354 was raised, a fantastic amount on the night helped by the quality of the prizes which were all beautifully wrapped and presented by Rotarian Lisa Lee.

Prestatyn President Pete Dop thanked all for attending and proposed the Rotary toast to end what was a very pleasant evening in good company.

We attended Prestatyn's Annual Classic Car Show - it's 25th Anniversary - congratulations to Tim, his committee and volunteers and all the entrants for putting on a fabulous show.

Our trailer (seen here) somehow ended up jammed between a metal sign and a bike rack! We couldn't budge it and it needed to be lifted out. I looked behind and Darth Vader was stood right there chatting with friends - he didn't need asking twice and single handedly lifted it free! 😀👍💪 Thank you Spencer.

An interesting guided walk around historic Rhuddlan last evening, led by Rotarian Chris Parry. Culminating at Twt Hill, the site of a motte and bailey castle, a precursor to Ed.1's bijou holiday home.

A substantial buffet at the Castle Inn was a welcome end to a very enjoyable evening. 😀

The warm weather brought out large crowds to see the annual Prestatyn Carnival last Saturday. We were happy to take part with our little trailer and "A" Board and eight helpers with collecting buckets. Later on the Carnival Field we were presented with an "Outstanding Contribution Award" for 2025 and 2026. Rotarian Tony Morgan accepted the award on behalf of the Club. Here he is pictured with our Town Mayor Anton Sampson 😄

The previous week Heather Norris joined us for a meal at The Beaches Hotel Prestatyn after which she updated the Rotarians on the Prestatyn & Meliden Foodbank which she has been involved with for many years. Immediate Past-President Colum is pictured presenting Heather with a cheque for £50.

On Monday July 6th Rotarian Colum Phillips handed over the presidential reigns to Pete Dop. This is second time around for long-standing member Pete. He thanked Colum for an excellent year in office as well as the various Committee Chairs during the previous year and those who will serve in his year. He hopes to continue in the same fashion, making Rotary membership enjoyable and being involved in many projects for local good causes.

Pete hasn't chosen a particular charity for his year in office, rather he'll likely pick a number of small local good causes to help.

Also pictured is Steve Blakesley who was warmly welcomed as a new member of our Club. Steve has been involved with Rotary for over thirty years, holding various posts during that time. He is a retired teacher, a published children's author, a poet, and for many years well-known for his "Space Rocket Roadshow". He currently has a leading role in the Rotary District Technology Tournament for schools.

If you are interested in joining Prestatyn Rotary Club, there's an opportunity to meet some of us in the informal setting of our Summer Barbecue to be held on August 21st at St Melyd Golf Club.

Following-up from our donation to Prestatyn High School to purchase new netball kit for the girls team, we visited the school recently to see the new kit in action at a practice session.

Pictured with some of the team are Rotary Club Treasurer Tony England and P.E. Staff.

Good look to the team next season in their new kit!
