The Rotary Club of Tenby were very pleased this week to present the Rotary Young Leaders Award to Miss Emma Harries, of The Glebe, Tenby. Emma, a Sixth Form student at Greenhill School, achieved the award earlier in the summer, when she attended a week-long Rotary Young Leaders (RYLA) course at the Dol-y-Gaer outward bound pursuit centre in the Brecon Beacons, being the sponsored candidate of the Rotary Club of Tenby. At this week's dinner meeting of the Rotary Club, Emma gave a fascinating talk, recollecting her many activities, including mountain climbing, caving and orienteering, which helped her and the other young people present to undertake new experiences and develop team skills, as well as overcoming any perceived fears. Emma was full of praise for her experiences, which she said would stand her in very good stead, being very useful for her roles as a young leader in the Girl Guides and the Church Club. The Rotary Club of Tenby will be looking to sponsor a candidate for the annual course for the summer of 2006 and those interested in being considered should write to the club at their headquarters, The Royal Lion Hotel, Tenby. The course is ideally suited for those currently in the Lower Sixth, (although being in school is not a prerequisite).
