Tuesday evening saw Daphne and I south of the Tay to visit St Andrews Kilrymont RC and catch up with President Grace's plans for the year. Always keen to be involved with the local community, they now have a very up front approach to keeping the locals up to date with the Club's activities. Published on a quarterly basis, Kiltymont Klips is increasingly widening its distribution, with doctors and dentists surgeries and now libraries on the list of recipients. Fund raising for international targets is never neglected and the Club's annual, national golf event attracts players from throughout RIBI, raising substantial sums of money in the process. I have had the pleasure of participating for the past 3 years and it is a wonderful day of competition and good fellowship in equal measure. No matter how poorly you might play, it is impossible to feel down in such an upbeat competition. I know of no other golf competition where your waistline and ego receive regular boosts through the appearance from the depths of some gorse-packed barrier to progress, by good natured Rotarians bearing black bun and a dram. A liberal helping of this and any wayward shots soon assume their proper place in the scheme of things. During the evening, I was delighted to receive two large cheques from the Club for PolioPlus and Leonard Cheshire.
