The Young Musician competition is just one of the many Youth Competitions that Rotary run. It is a perfect platform for gaining recognition through a well-established local and district competition and also a great opportunity to compete on a national level.

Winners of the local heat will be put forward to the 1070 District competition. All fees will be paid by the Rotary Club of Towcester. The District semi- finals will be held the weekend of March 4th 2018 and the District finals will be the weekend of March 18th 2018.

The Rotary Club of Towcester meets weekly at the Saracen’s head and is always delighted to welcome new members. Please contact:secretary@towcester-rotary.org.uk
