By Thursday evening, the monsoon weather if anything has increased in intensity. Just how wet can you get in five yards? President Ian and the members of the Arbroath Club made us most welcome and I was greatly impressed by the large turn out despite the appalling weather. Some of the members put this down to the fact that very little prior notice of my visit had been given! One of our oldest Clubs, Arbroath still maintain their enthusiasm, their willingness to embrace change and their great success in a wide range of projects. New members and better PR are high on their list of priorities and with their past successes, one can be pretty certain that they will succeed. Great supporters of PolioPlus and Foundation, as well as the Shelterbox scheme which is so vital in times of disaster,they raised funds for the latter by a sponsored walk carrying a Shelterbox over Jock's Road. With the advancing years, I think I might find it hard work to carry myself over that route nowadays. They also find the time and resources to continue their care and support for the children of Chernobyl, and the Nepane project for safe drinking water in Nepal. In addition, they also provide much support for the young people of Arbroath and other groups. There are lots of good things happening in Arbroath RC.
