Lunchtime on the 29th took us just along the road to the meeting of the Claverhouse Club which again has a number of old friends and acquaintances amongst their membership. President Nick is another Club leader who has given very high priority to increasing their membership, recognising that this is an ever present need, even for the very succesful Clubs. Contrary to what some might believe, the Club is not anti lady members but looks first and foremost for people who will make the best possible Rotarians, irrespective of their gender. As Dundee's one true city centre Club, their lunchtime meetings must appeal to those who would like to be involved in Rotary but wish to do so at fairly close repair to their businesses.The Club does a great deal for both young people and the various 'Box' schemes, which are very much at the top of my list of priorities. They also run the quite outstanding Cyclothon, which started in a small way and simply keeps on growing and growing, raising a formidable amount of money in the process. Never can there have been a more profitable example of 'get on your bike'. Many charities will benefit as a consequence.
