Newly elected John Yeomans, of Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club, presented silver tankards and badges of office to past president John Law and his predecessor Fred McDonogh.

Both terms of office were cut short due to the pandemic which delayed earlier presentations.

But the new president told members their contributions should be fully recognised in accordance with tradition.

He said: “I am delighted their tremendous contributions to the success of the club should finally be recognised and despite the pandemic I hope they both gleaned some satisfaction from their terms in office – an ending not exactly what I am sure either would have chosen.”
