On Friday morning, I had the privilege and pleasure of sharing in the official opening of the NAFAS/Rotary Golden Wheels of Service with Annie Adams of NAFAS and Jim McColl of Beechgrove Garden fame. The event was sponsored by 18 of the north east Rotary Clubs and all the displays exemplified various Rotary causes and themes, such as Adopt a Minefield, WaterAid Mercy Ships and ShelterBox. The displays were mounted in the beautiful St Machars Cathedral, a very familiar location from my days as a student at Aberdeen University. As student in the near by Botany Department and a resident of Crombie Hall just down the road, this was all very familiar territory. The floral displays were quite outstanding and Nature cooperated by providing the most beautiful weather. I hope that the event received enormous support and that the two chosen charities, Breast Cancer Care and CRANES, benefitted from an always welcome boost to their funds.
