New Year - New Member

Sarah Gould is the latest person to join Taunton Vale Rotary Club. She was inducted by president Kathryn Robinson-Burge and welcomed by members and friends at the Christmas meeting.

Rotarian Sarah is a former dental surgeon with Yarde House Practice. Her interest in Taunton Vale Rotary stems from her contact with previous senior partner and club member Graham Catchpole and more recently as an entrant in the Moonraker Challenge.

Sarah now volunteers with the award winning Neroche Woodlanders, working with children who are disadvantaged.

Sarah says: “Having attended as a visitor to several meetings and as a Moonraker competitor, I am looking forward to joining Taunton Vale’s mission of service and making a positive impact in our local community and beyond”.

After an excellent dinner at Oake Manor Golf Club, around 50 Rotarians and friends were entertained by members of Somerset Opera with a varied programme ranging from Verdi and Mozart to Flanders and Swan and even a cheeky new arrangement of a traditional children’s Christmas song by one of the Taunton Vale members.
