THE recently-retired head teacher of Ysgol Dyffryn Taf, Rob Newsome OBE, has been honoured by Narberth and Whitland Rotary Club.

Club president Tony Ensom has presented Mr Newsome with a Paul Harris Fellowship lapel pin with sapphire to recognise his outstanding achievements in the fields of education, community service and the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, together with invaluable service to Rotary fundraising events.

During the past 34 years, only three other people have received a similar honour from the local club.

Mr Newsome thanked the president and guests for the award, and pledged to continue helping the club as an honorary member.
