SUMMARY:RCL Lunch Meeting - Bav Shah High Sheriff of Bedfordshire 2024/25
DESCRIPTION:  \nBav Shah\, High Sheriff of Bedfordshire 2024/25\, will be our speaker. \nRotarian Bav Shah is a Chartered Surveyor from Luton who was appointed High Sheriff of Bedfordshire by His Majesty The King\, becoming one of the youngest individuals to hold this historic office in the county’s history. \nThe role of High Sheriff is an ancient Crown appointment dating back to Saxon times. While now largely ceremonial and non-political\, it remains an important constitutional position representing the Sovereign in matters relating to the judiciary\, law and order\, and community cohesion at county level. The office plays a vital role in fostering respect for and collaboration between the courts\, police\, emergency services\, voluntary organisations\, and the wider public. \nDuring his year of service\, Bav championed a modern\, community-focused interpretation of law and order — acting not only as a symbolic representative of the Crown\, but as an active advocate for unity\, voluntary service\, public safety\, and cross-sector collaboration across Bedfordshire. \nA committed Rotarian\, Bav was previously a member of the Rotary Club of Sydney Darling Harbour (“The Darlings”) and is now a Charter Member of The Rotary Club of the City of London. In recognition of his service\, he has been awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship by the Rotary Club of Dunstable. \nBooking link: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/rotarycluboflondon2/2082603
