Rotarian Peter Edwards

It is with great sadness that we pay tribute to our dear friend and fellow Rotarian Peter Edwards.

In 2012, Peter inspired and drove the founding of the Pageant of Motoring, which, over the years, developed into The Bath Rotary Festival of Motoring. He worked tirelessly to make the annual event a success, raising tens of thousands of pounds for charities in the process.

Peter will be greatly missed by everyone involved in the Festival. He was an inspiration, and without him, there would be no Festival of Motoring for us to enjoy.
