THE Rotary Club of Guisborough and Great Ayton has outlined its plans for the coming year.

The 30-member club, which runs community projects, plans to replace a broken gate with a new metal kissing gate near the water fall in Great Ayton. The gate will match the Millennium Gate erected by the parish council at the other end of the footpath.

The group also wishes to hear from Great Ayton residents who would like to upgrade the village's existing emergency defibrillator to provide 24-hour cover.

The International Team recently delivered more than 200 emergency boxes, filled by the pupils from Highcliffe School in Guisborough and also raised £500 for international relief aid. It is also planning a weekend visit to a Dutch or Belgian Rotary Club.

The Foundation Team, which also raises money for charity, is holding a Burns Supper on January 30 at Gisborough Hall.
