The club President for 2025-26 will be Neil Lyons. In his own words, Neil tells us a bit about himself:I was born in Palmerston North and at the age of 11 moved to Mosgiel as my father was transferred to Dunedin by NZ Railways. I attended St Pauls High School and thus was a “train boy”. After a couple of years at Polytech I joined A&T Burt’s as a Designer/Estimator, later moving to Fletchers and then Arrow International as a Project Manager. Colleen and I were married in 1971, and she went on to become a school teacher. Nicola was our first born in 1974 followed two years later by Jamie. In the 1990’s I started my own business Signature Property Ltd managing projects and developing apartments. My son joined me on returning from overseas and now runs the business. I have always been a keen sportsman having played club and rep rugby also squash, cricket and latterly golf, tramping, skiing, MTB and table tennis. Our family spend a lot of time on our farm near Twizel where my daughter and partner live and work. It is a time where the family gathers, allowing us to spend time with our four grandies. Rotary has been an important part of my life for the past 23 years.
