Could I be forgiven about getting paranoid over the state of the weather this year? Yet again, another week of visits, etc has been accompanied by exceedingly heavy falls of rain. Conditions while driving up to Stonehaven were not memorable and it was a relief to get ourselves and equipment safely into the hotel. However, this had not deterred the Stonehaven Rotarians who were present in large numbers. As always, it was a pleasure to be meeting with Rotarians and to hear their views on a wide range of topics. This was added to by two special occasions. The first was to present certificates to their two RYLA candidates, who had had a wonderful week at Nethybridge and had been a great credit to themselves and the sponsoring Club. The second was to charter the new Stonehaven-sponsored Interact Club based on Mackie Academy. They are a fine bunch of youngsters who will be ably supported by both school staff and some of the Stonehaven Rotarians. The icing on the cake was the presentation by President Wilma of an exceedingly large cheque for PolioPlus-far larger vthan I had any reason to anticipate - £3000 to be precise. A very big well done to Stonehaven for a tremendous effort.
