KATIE Hayward of Ysgol John Bright School is the first winner of the Bob Mills Memorial award.
The award was funded by Bob’s family following his death in 2017. He was a past president of Llandudno Rotary club and was revered both by the local Llandudno Club, and throughout the wider Rotary community for his selfless, and largely backstage, work for Rotary.
The award takes the form of a bursary to encourage local musical talent, reflecting Bob’s own love of music and the boy band of his youth.
Kate’s talent for song expresses itself in many ways, most recently in the role of Charity Barnum, wife and saviour of Phineas Taylor Barnum, in the Llandudno youth music theatre production of Barnum at Venue Cymru.
The £250 award was presented to Katie by past president Rotarian. Steve Butler at the opening night performance of Barnum. Katie will spend the award on further vocal and theory tuition.
