Alex Boschell is originally from Welshpool and is visiting relatives with his wife Cindy and decided to visit the Welshpool club.

Publicity lead Mike Lade said: "It was very interesting to hear from Alex about their club as well as Cindy who holds a District position for China. What was most interesting was to hear how difficult it can be in a Rotary club working under the Chinese government.’
