Week 7 started with the promise of a lower than average mileage compared with previous weeks, but it is amazing how the figures still added up. First up was a visit to President David and the members of the Kinross Club, the first Club I visited outside my own after I joined Rotary. Like all Clubs, they have a wide range of activities, including a very strong involvement with young people and with WaterAid. Perhaps unique in this District, and possibly any other, is their involvement with the massive T-in-the-Park event, where they both provide a Left Luggage service for the young people attending, and endeavour to feed them, working into the early hours of the morning over the 3 days of the event. The popularity of the latter service grows year on year with burgers, bacon and sausage filled rolls, tea, coffee, soup,fruit juice, water and chocolate bars on offer. Despite the Club's best endeavours, the hunger of the young people seemed insatiable, and they actually sold out of bacon, burgers and sausages one day. However, this all guaranteed a very healthy sum for their charity funds. The Club is very supportive of District events and I look forward to welcoming their large contingent to the District Conference in Aviemore this September.
