BEEF and Yorkshire pudding accompanied the Christmas crackers at the festive meeting of the Bromsgrove Rotary Club.

North Bromsgrove High School student Owen Wilkes was the guest of honour at the Christmas lunch, which was held at the Marlgrove Club.

The Rotary Club sponsored Owen to attend the International Youth Camp in Warwickshire, which was held in the summer.

The camp was attended by young men from all over the world, also sponsored by International Rotarians, and they were required to participate in a variety of tasks and activities.

Owen was presented a leadership certificate at the Christmas lunch, which was held at the Birmingham Road Club on Monday, December 16.
