With the weather at long last showing signs of relenting from the endless downpours, Tuesday evening saw us in the south of Fife to visit the Rotary Club of Burntisland and Kinghorn. This provided an opportunity to catch up with PDG John Minhinick and hear more of his superbly masterminded campaign on Thanks for Life which will be celebrated next February. John's drive and innovative ideas are greatly envied by other Districts in RIBI. The evening was filled with all sorts of activities, first of which was the induction of new Rotarian, Ken Hunter. I wish him every success and enjoyment from his membership. This was followed by the presentation of gold medals to a number of ladies, young and not so young, who had raised substantial sums of money for charity by their walk round the various courses laid out by the Club in and around Burntisland. President Derek and his members are really buzzing with new ideas, including their experimental system where the old boards which circulated the Club on all sorts of activites, and were not always seen by every member present, have now been replaced by a continuously circulating display using a laptop and digital projector, viewed on a large screen on one side of the tables. This flags up events, seeks Rotarian participation, etc, and is an innovation which other Clubs could usefully copy. It was another excellent evening of fellowship and I look forward to a return visit to the Club.
