 Thomas Bertolotti, aged 15, is the second young person to win RC Hull Paragon’s Young Person of Achievement Award. This is a financial award made to assist a young person in Hull to further their pursuit of excellence in a chosen sport, music and the arts or an academic field.
The presentation took place at the club’s Charter lunch on Sunday 31st May at which Thomas provided musical entertainment to the delight of all those present including DG Mohammad who particularly enjoys cello music. Thomas, an accomplished Cellist currently studying at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester played with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain for the first time in spring performing at prestigious venues around the country which culminates in the summer with a Proms performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Applicants for the award are required to submit a written application and make an oral presentation, detailing what they require the money for and how it would enable them to achieve their ambition. In his application Thomas explained “My ambition is to become a cellist and my parents do their best to finance the necessary courses and equipment. I have recently been told ….. that my bow which has already had to be repaired, is not good enough for the standard that I am now at. My parents are consequently saving up to try to buy me a better bow. The award would be an extremely useful contribution towards this” |

 District 1270's stand at the Lincolnshire Show proved to be a hub of international meetings on the second day. As well as a visit from a visitor from Colombia who was staying in the UK following the GSE visits of 2008, we were pleased to welcome Betsy Yost, Assistant District Governor from District 5520. Betsy had been to the International Convention and was enjoying a friendship exchange in District 1270.
Betsy is pictured talking to Florimond Voreux and Romain Navet , both aged 20, who are currently on workplacements in Hull. Their workplacements have been arranged through the RC of Hull Paragon and their twinned club - RC Lille. Florimond is on placement at The Deep courtesy of a Hull Paragon Rotarian and Romain is working at Envirodoors courtesy of a Humberside Rotarian. Whilst this is not a specified Rotary project it shows how the fellowship and friendship at an international level can provide so many opportunities for so many others in our local communities. The stand team were also pleased to welcome GSE 2009 Team Members - Rachel Shaw and Jason Hippisley to the stand. Both were at the show for professional reasons. Jason, Editor of the Market Rasen Mail as a member of the Press and Rachel as Publicity Officer for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. |
