We are at a time of the year when there are so many Rotary fund raising events, that good weather is always hoped for. However, the weather forecast last night, and the view out of my bedroom window early this morning, made me fear for the prospects of Abertay RC's Plant Sale. However, after a few early showers, the sun decided to shine on the righteous and dry weather with occasional sunshine took over. The Plant Sale was located at a prime site in the centre of Broughty Ferry. Certainly, when Daphne and I visited, they were doing a roaring trade, aided and abetted by a group of silven tongued Rotarians. I left with very high hopes that they would raise a handsome sum of money. One of the great pleasure of attending such occasions is the opportunity to meet up again with old Rotarian friends, some of whom date back for several decades. What is so nice is that none of them have lost their enthusiasm for the prime function of Rotary- to raise money for worthy causes and to enjoy good fun and fellowship in the process. It was also an occasion to meet up with some very new, or even about to be, Rotarians. To them , I wish every success and enjoyment in their membership. Abertay have always been in the forefront of the use of new technology and it was an sure indicator of this when I got home, to see that pictures of the occasion were already on their Website. Rupert Murdoch eat your heart out.
