After my all too rare visit to my own Club, it was time to hit the road again and head up to Aberdeen to visit the Westhill Club. I have a number of old friends there, not least PDG Bill Leslie, who was away about his business of forming yet another new Club, a job he does superbly well. However, I will catch up with him at the District Conference. Bill and I share the same philosophy of 'let's stop just talking about it and get on and do it'. The Club was absolutely buzzing with ideas and projects both for the present and the future. The world quite literally is their oyster, with projects in Nepal and Indonesia in progress or planned, tremendous help and support for their local young people and excellent support for the local communities, especially for the senior citizens. With their support for international activities such as PolioPlus and Shelterbox, Westhill typify all the good things about Rotary. It was a great pleasure to meet up with President Russell and his members again and a return visit is definitely on the cards to hear about their latest overseas achievements.
