DG's Visits Week 19


Tuesday saw Daphne and I heading north to visit the Dyce Club. For once, the satnav behaved perfectly, circumventing all the usual traffic on Anderson Drive and delivering us unhindered to a short traffic queue just a few yards short of the Menzies Dyce Aberdeen Airport Hotel. I would not have dared to try this route unguided or relying on road maps. President Jim and his members were in excellent form, and eager to tell us about their many activities in the community, internationally and on the social side. On the last of these victory in the gavel had to be balanced by lesser success on the curling rink, but forthcoming social and fund raising events will keep them busy. I was greatly impressed by the involvement of many members in planting crocuses and daffodils, a very practical demonstration of Rotary's environmental credentials and wish to preserve and beautify our surroundings. It sends a really good message to our communities when we undertake projects of this nature. The evening seemed to fly past and, all too soon, we had to bid our farewells.
