Our guest speaker this evening was Rotarian and former president Karen Kirkby, who following her brave battle with breast cancer has embarked on a crusade of fundraising, awareness, and support of others. A love of dragon boating was born four years ago, and after adventures resulting in many ribbons and awards, she is off to compete in the 2026 IBCPC Dragon Boat Festival (24-30 August) in the heart of the French Alps - Aix Les Bains.
Karen will be paddling with long time breast cancer survivors from the Penrith Pendragrons Abreast team. There will be 4,500 participants competing in 25 countries.
And that’s not all. Her dream is to qualify for the Australian International Aurora’s Breast Cancer Paddling Team. The selection process for this team is based on two components which Karen has been working hard towards:
1. Gym benchmarking, and
2. an on-water observation and fitness test.
We wish Karen the best of luck!

A wonderful evening led by 2025/26 President Chris Cole of fellowship, camaraderie, and awards - including Honorary Members, Rotarian of the Year, Paul Harris Fellow, Dark Horse (quiet achiever!) and Years of Service. Special guests for the evening were Bev Bartlett and her husband Daryl. Bev was the first female member of our club and served 2 terms as president. Daryl is also a past president of the club.
President Elect Julie Herbert was officially welcomed to lead the 2026/27 Rotary year and introduced her incoming board committee. Immediate Past President Chris outlined a heartwarming year of achievements, contributions and service to the Narrabri district. Congratulations to the awardees and thank you to all who attended and made this night one to remember.

A huge 3-day venture packed with curiosity, experiments and learning with the University of Newcastle’s Science & Engineering Challenge. Primary and High schools across the district tested their critical thinking skills and most importantly had fun along the way. The Rotary Club of Narrabri wishes to sincerely thank all our Friends of Rotary who rallied around to help us - we couldn’t have done it without you! #rotaryclubofnarrabri #rotarydistrict9660 #FunWithSTEM #engineeringentrepreneurs
