The end of the week saw me together with my two fellow Scottish Governors at the Wishaw Games which Rotary in Scotland has supported for a number of years. The weather gods shone for most of the day and a full range of outdoor and indoor activities was enjoyed by the participants, eagerly supported by families and friends. The enthusiasm and competitive nature of all was clear to see and I marvelled at the prowess on display. Many of the events would have taxed my sporting abilities to the full, even in the days of a younger and somewhat fitter DG. The times in the track events, and distances achieved in the field events, were impressive to say the least. I can only express my total admiration for everything the competitors achieved. My award of a gold medal for presenting the prizes paled in comparison with the five or more medals achieved by some. My appreciation goes to the organisers, who had an exceedingly busy day, and to the many other bodies who provided funding and other support.
