Our Rotary Holiday in Cornwall


This is a Rotary Club holiday to the small Cornish fishing village of Gorran Haven taken only two years after the end of the Second World War. Britain was undergoing rationing, reconstruction and reform. These Rotarians enjoy fishing, playing cricket on the beach, the outdoor pool at Carlyon Bay and the wilds of Cornwall followed by refreshment, reading and sea bathing. Rotary was a men only member organisation until the 1980s; women spouses were part of the Inner Wheel.
