The public perception of Rotarians is a group of business
people approaching retirement if not already entered. The logic then follows that you have to be of
a more senior age to join. Hucknall Rotary Club is leading the way in
breaking down this misunderstand.
President Ian Young (45) is currently the youngest club president in the
East Midlands Rotary district, even then he’s not the youngest president in the
history of the Rotary Club of Hucknall.
The youngest member of the club is 29 year old Stephen Haywood. Stephen joined Rotarian last years and is
making a valuable contribution to the community through Hucknall Rotary Club. Stephen readily credits Rotary for helping to
increase his confidence in business networking.

Stephen, along with his twin brother Andrew, are involved
in the running of The Thursday Club in Hucknall. The Thursday Club, which has received the
Best Community Group Award by Ashfield District Council, offers help and
support to adults and children with special needs.
In recognition of their volunteering work with the Thursday
Club, Andrew Haywood was nominated to be one of the official 2012 Olympic Torch
Relay bearers. At the invitation of his
twin brother, Andrew came along to the latest meeting of Hucknall Rotary Club
and spoke about how he was nominated, his experience of the day in carrying the
torch, and how afterwards he has been invited to show the torch to many people
and groups .
