Wednesday 30 almost seemed like a day off, with only one Club visit, in comparison to the previous day. It was a pleasure to visit President Robert and his members, who turned out in astonishingly large numbers, as well as attracting a number of outside visitors, both Rotarian and non-Rotarian. Obviously no one had told them about the DG's visit! The weather was also quite different from the previous day, with the sun blazing down, just as it had done when Daphne and I visited the Scottish Bowling Championships in Alloa right at the start of my year in office. The Club recognises the need to advance the recognition and public image of Rotary and have created a new PR/Communication post to do just that. There is also a very strong commitment to young people through RYLA, the PSQ, Young Chef and Euroscola. They are strong supporters of PolioPlus, Foundation, the Nyumbani Project and Shoeboxes, with a wide variety of fund raising activities. They are ambitious growth-wise, both seeking to increase their current membership numbers through a new strategy involving all existing members, and looking to the future through the creation of an Interact Club.
