Later in the day saw Daphne and I travel up to Banff for the District Handover lunch, an event very ably planned and executed by the Turrif and District Rotary Club. Under the very capable chairmanship of President Rose, we enjoyed an excellent meal and soon moved on to the essential business of my valedictory address and the hand over to my successor, George Berstan. As always, there was not nearly enough time to adequately thank everyone at District and Club level for their tremendous efforts during the past year and for the phenomenal amounts of money which they had raised for good causes. It was a very convivial meeting, with the opportunity to meet up again with many old friends. It was a special pleasure to have District Governor Elect Iain Macdonald back in our midst, clearly now well on the way to recovery after being seriously ill. While my Governor's duties are not yet quite over, I have to admit to a lighter step as Daphne and I headed back to Dundee. It has been a fabulous year for us both and we will retain many happy memories.
