The Rotary Club of Thornbury Serving Thornbury and surrounding communities in South Gloucestershire, England ROTARY YOUNG LEADERSHIP AWARD (RYLA) Rosie Spooner from Olveston whom we sponsored in 2008 for a 7 day Residential Leadership Course in the Forest of Dean, subsequently applied and was successful in gaining a place on the Rotary International RYLA Seminar in India in late 2011. Rosie, a 3rd year student at Cardiff University studying Music has greatly increased her self confidence & the lessons learned from this experience will stand her in good stead in her future career. Whilst in India, she took advantage to extend her stay to undertake a week's voluntary teaching in a school in a deprived area. Another worthwhile experience for this resourceful young lady. There are opportunities for all 16/18 year olds to apply for a place on future RYLA courses and full details can be found by clicking here ROTARY YOUNG GOLFER WINNER 2012 Alister Balcombe, 16, a member of Clevedon Golf Club won this year's exciting competition by the narrowest of margins, making an eagle 3 on the par 5 18th hole on the Thornbury Course, to snatch the title by just one shot. 72 young golfers aged 8 to 18 took part in this Rotary Sponsored event.
