The Rotary Club of Prestwick is delighted to be organising a community Beach Clean on 23 October. There will be a particular emphasis on picking up plastic on the beach as well as general litter. It always generates a great community spirit.

This week we wished a very fond farewell to our amazing Miss Andrews. Colleagues and young people will miss her enthusiasm and kindness! We wish Miss A all the best as she takes on a new adventure!🌎 💛
