To register Please register with Rtn. Gill Poole if your club intends to take part in next year’s Rotary Young Chef competition. Only 8 places will be available at the district final at Betty's Cookery School in January Just as they did in 2013, I am expecting clubs will have to hold joint group events (after their own club event) to enable us to find those 8 finalists. To enable me to assess which and where the participating clubs are situated, please register your interest in the project by sending an Rtn.
