The middle of the week saw us in Aviemore, a much loved part of the world and favourite holiday destination for the past 30 years, for not only Daphne and I, but the rest of the family. It was a great pleasure to introduce the next generation of the family to this beautiful part of the world earlier this year. I greatly enjoyed my visit to the now familiar Spey Valley RC where it was a pleasure to meet up with a number of old friends, not least long-serving Secretary, Bill McConachie, who has now occupied this post for 25 years-really Service Above Self. President George was in great form with a wealth of new initiatives to try, and a real desire to bring in new members, especially at the younger end of the scale. With 4 new members recently and 2 more in the pipeline, they are setting a hot pace.The success of their Wishing Well in Newtonmore is legendary and huge sums of money have been raised to help with the provision of safe drinking water in the underdeveloped countries. The weather had now relented somewhat so it was a great temptation to linger and enjoy the scenery. However, other parts of the District beckoned.
