Tuesday saw phase 2 of my experiment to see if several Clubs could join together for the DG's visit.On this occasion it was Alford, Inverurie, Kintore and Oldmeldrum. Presidents Ron, Alan, Jim and Hilary were well supported by members of their Clubs. The range of activities I heard about on this occasion was quite breathtaking and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to talk to so many different Rotarians. They also seemed to appreciate the occasion for a number of Clubs to meet together to exchange ideas, and also consider whether or not there might be projects on which they could work together. It will be for the Clubs and future DGs to consider whether or not they wish to continue this way for DGs to visit Clubs and for Rotarians to meet their DG in the flesh, but the current logistical problems of visiting all 87 Clubs in the first 4 months of the Rotary year seem almost untenable and clearly will become exceedingly difficult if our aspirations for Club growth are met. I am especially grateful to AG Andrew McCartney for his good offices and hard work in bringing these joint meetings about.
