The lunchtime visit to the Rotary Club of Pitlochry brought back memories of early trips to see the then very new Festival Theatre, still performing under canvas at their original site on the north side of the main road. Wet windy evenings were an occupational hazard then which could lead to cancelled performances. How might they have faired with our current weather? Pitlochry RC now enjoy a superb level of accomodation in the refurbished Fisher's Hotel which is almost unrecognisable from its previous state. President Sandra and her members were in great form despite the continuing wet weather outside. They have a happy balance of support for causes both abroad and within their own community, allied to an active social calendar, all of which must help to attract new members to the Club. I suspect that Christmas in Pitlochry would not be the same without them. With their hoped for increase in support for young people, the good work they do for Shelterbox and WaterAid, their collaboration on the Nepane Project and their heightened PR profile, there is much to congratulate them on. Their top team are managing the balancing act of change without going to fast, superbly well, andI look forward to hearing more about their new initiatives.
