Wednesday evening saw Daphne and I Aberdeen-bound at the invitation of President Ian Dow of the Aberdeen St. Nicholas Club, to attend the Scout Gang Show, with which Ian has been associated for many years in a variety of roles including producer. Some of you will be aware that Ian participated in one of the National Immunisation days in India last autumn. The particular reason for my attendance was that Ian had agreed with the Scout movement that PolioPlus should be one of the major beneficiaries of the proceeds from the show. The young people produced a wonderful evening of entertainment, including a very emotive start to the second half which focused on the health problems of the world. I had the privilege and pleasure of talking to the young people after the show and it is clear that they embody so many of the principles dear to Rotary. I also wish that I possessed even a small percentage of their apparently boundless energy. It was a most enjoyable evening and one which they will be repeating over several nights. I wish them every success.
