The Best Guide for the Neston Area

Exciting Opportunity For a Young Neston Person to Take a Leap Forward

Rotary Club of Neston is looking for a young person in the local area to go on a fully sponsored week of leadership training.

The week long course at Arthog includes learning new skills
through outdoor and water activities.

The Rotary Youth Leadership award is a programme that started in Australia in the 1960's and the local Rotary district has been running the course in Wales for local young people for many years.

The principle aims of RYLA are to provide an effective learning experience for selected young people who have already shown embrionic leaderdship skills, to encourage leadership of young people by young people and to recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities.

In our area the RYLA event takes the format of an activity training course for selected young people aged 16-18 at the Arthog Activity centre near Barmouth in North Wales. This next course is from Sunday 20 to Friday 25 August 2017. 40 places are available.

RYLA gives a fantastic opportunity to young people. Anyone interested should contact the Rotary Club of Neston.

So What can you expect?
