Celebrations have been taking place at The Rotary Club of Dunmow as it celebrates two firsts.
The group was pleased to welcome its first female member, Carol Halden, and members are expecting a second to join in the New Year.
A Rotarian also won the Hugh Markham Rotary District Sports competition trophy shield. It was presented to David Burnett at the district conference.
