Noel first joined Rotary in 1975 as a member of Blackfriars Newcastle-under-Lyme Rotary Club, where he was a member for 33 years.
He then spent 14 years as a member of Burslem, Market Drayton and Newport Lite Rotary Clubs between 2008 and 2022.
Noel also served as District Governor for Rotary in the North West Midlands (D1120) during 1986/87.
He would go on to lead Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland as President in 1995/96, before taking on the role of Rotary International Director between 1999-2001.
Noel was a hugely dedicated Rotarian at a local, national and international level and Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland would like to thank him for over 47 years of membership.
We also extend our condolences to Noelโs wife Anne, his family and friends at this sad time.
