Last night saw a return to the Rotary World Curling Championships in Perth, when Daphne and I joined a combined meeting of the Perth Rotary Clubs, and all the visiting curlers and their partners, for an excellent evening at the Dewars Ice Rink. We were treated to both an excellent meal, and two very interesting and enjoyable speakers in Gordon Bannerman of the Perthshire Advertiser and David Hay, Coach to the Great Britain Men's Curling Team. Both, in their different ways, providing a fascinating insight to the world of sport. It was an evening of real fun and fellowship, further enlightened by the endeavours of Joe McCulloch and Bob Reid, respectively of the Rotary Clubs of Peterborough, Canada and Perth Kinnnoull. This doughty pairing, in their role as joint Sergeant at Arms, not only added greatly to the entertainment but raised a substantial sum of money for PolioPlus. I congratulate President Bill and all of the organising team on running a superb event. It was impeccably planned and executed, and provided not only a superb week of sporting activity but a great opportunity to make new friendships and renew old ones, as well as raising further funds for a cause dear to us all. In my book, it had everything that is good about Rotary.
