The middle of the week took us first of all to the lunchtime meeting of the Rotary Club of Carnoustie where at long last the sun was shining, the clouds had gone and the temperature was a very acceptable 19.5 degrees Centigrade. The locals assured me that Carnoustie weather was always like this, especially on the golf course! I was delighted to visit a Club which has been so succesful at reinvigorating itself, with a significant number of new members brought in during the past year. It was very appropriate that the architect of these changes, PP Hamish Leslie, was in the chair, and to have the opportunity to meet some of these new members. Carnoustie have a very strong tradition of supporting the local community but nevertheless look to suport both PolioPlus and the Shelterbox schemes. They will also continue to support a charity which is building a clinic in Rwanda. This last has a very interesting link with the local High School where some of their senior pupils have already been out to Rwanda to help. As a Club I have known and visited over many years, it was a great pleasure to visit them again.
