TAKING over from the past president of Yelverton Rotary Club Gillian Parker is Ross Dent — a long-term member of the club who lives in Yelverton.

Ross is very much looking forward to his year in office and is committed to the charitable work the Rotary Club of Yelverton does in the area and also in supporting Rotary International causes.

Ross said: ‘I want to increase the membership of the club, for a Friends of Yelverton Rotary group of around 50 members and hope to introduce some radical measures for the future of the club. We are a great group and I am proud of the wonderful work our talented team does in the local community.’
