EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from July 1990, we witness the historic Rotary Club Presidency Handover ceremony in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image showcases a significant moment as Martin Austen (left), the outgoing President of the Rotary Club of Lostwithiel, gracefully passes on the chain of office to his successor Chris Jewels. Both gentlemen were esteemed members of their community, with Mr Austen known for running the beloved North Street Dairy and Mr Jewels serving as the town's dedicated policeman for many years. Their commitment to public service is evident in this heartfelt exchange. The setting for this memorable event was none other than Restormel Lodge Hotel, where the Rotary Club regularly convened for meetings and indulged in their monthly dinners. The charming backdrop of hanging baskets adorning Cornish architecture adds a touch of local flair to this snapshot. Photographed by Jonathan Barker, this candid shot encapsulates not only a symbolic transition within an esteemed organization but also reflects upon a time when community bonds were cherished and celebrated. As we gaze upon this treasured piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it serves as a reminder that true leadership lies in selfless dedication to others.
