In Read All About It, we round up some of our favourite coverage of ​Rotary Clubs in the media and local press.

Time has been called on an annual High Street flag display which involved ​Crediton Boniface Rotary Club in Devon. The Crediton Courier reported that ​because of safety concerns, shop owners were asked to take down the flags just ​weeks into the start of the Crediton Festival.

The paper reported: “It is believed that the action was taken after a flag, pole and ​bracket attached to the premises occupied by Mucky Mutts dog grooming at 38 ​High Street, Crediton, recently became detached from the building, resulting in ​the flag, pole and bracket ending up on the pavement.”

This was the 11th year of the festival with each of the flags designed to represent ​a shop or group with the help of local artist Charlotte Turner to coincide with the ​festival. FULL STORY >
