GUESTS from across Yorkshire joined the Rotary Club of Northallerton at the Allerton Court Hotel in Northallerton to mark 70 years since the formation of the club.

The District Governor of Rotary District 1040 in Yorkshire, Robert Morphet, congratulated the Club on its key contribution to the community locally and internationally over the years. President David Lock welcomed the guests and responded to the District Governor. Rishi Sunak, MP for Richmond, Yorkshire, gave a rousing talk about his experiences as MP, both locally and at Westminster.
