Keyway Awardees

This is our club's President's Award for members or non-members who have helped to "keep the wheels of the club turning". It does not reflect the baubles of office, rather it is for the otherwise unsung heroes who over an extended period have stepped forward to make our club the great club that it is.
'Keyway' refers to the notch in the axle space of the Rotary wheel where a wedge is fixed to cause the wheel to turn as the axle turns.
