On October 28th 2009, at a specially organised Rotary evening to view the recently re-opened Primrose Hall, The Rotary Club of Horbury and Ossett Phoenix surprised member's of the Horbury Heritage Trust by presenting their "whole team" with a Good Citizen's Award for it's tireless work to re-open the Hall.

Phoenix Rotary recently helped the Trust with it's fundraising by donating £2,000 towards renovation of the Hall.

Phoenix President Nick Hunter said "As a Rotary Club we were pleased to provide some financial support to the renovation work carried out by the trustees for, without their intervention and the support of the Charity Commission, Horbury would have lost a valuable community assett which was left in trust 'forever' to the people of Horbury."

 

The Trust took on the mammoth task in 2004 after the Hall's closure in 1997. After the Trust's Tireless efforts to revive the Hall and give it a future, it re-opened in April 2009. Christine Cudworth, Secretary of the Trust, said "The trustees are very grateful for the support the Rotarians have given The Heritage Trust throughout and were absolutely delighted to be given this award. More than anything, it is very pleasing to receive recognition for all the hard work that the trustees have put into turning a neglected building into a vibrant community hall."
