Monday evening saw us in Huntly where the wonderful Scottish autumn colours were just beginning to appear. Mere yards from the main road west of Huntly, one can see the spectacular peregrines in flight, with top speeds allegedly approaching 200mph in a dive. They are truly magnificent fliers. At the Huntly Club itself, President Greg and his members were in fine form, notwithstanding all the last minute preparations leading up to their 55th Charter Dinner. Huntly have a tremendous involvement with their local community, with everything from Santa Claus to the town's floral decorations emanating from their efforts. They have a number of very talented members and I hope that these skills will be brought forward to District level in due course. It is good to see their recent lady members having an increased involvement in the Club's activities, with their Immediate Past , and first Lady, President taking the Club forward to achieve several RI Awards. President Greg set off immediately after the meeting to move his boat to its winter quarters. When I saw him a few days later, he referred to an 'interesting' sail, which probably meant that it was about a Force 7!
