Tuesday evening saw Daphne and I heading eastwards to visit the Montrose Club, very capably led by President Alison. It was a great pleasure to be there, despite the wet evening, and to meet up with a Club whose Rotarians do so much both for their own community and internationally. If you add to this, the service which several of their members give to District, there is absolutley no doubt of their commitment. Members had just finished sending off a very large consignment of Shoeboxes, packed by both their own members and the young people of Montrose Academy. This had been immediately preceded by a very successful event to raise funds for PolioPlus. A big plus for the Club is their very productive drive drive to bring in new members, something which no Club, however big and successful, can ignore. It was also a valuable opportunity to touch base with the two current District officials, Clive Bartram and Robert Ritchie, who are doing a wondeful job in organising the new Events team. I think, from the most recent District Conference onwards, there can be no doubt about the improved audio and visual quality of meetings and individual presentations. Change is part and parcel of any organisation and I am delighted that we have such talented and willing people giving of their skills and taking us forward.
