Happily, the rumours that a DG's life come to a sudden end at midnight on 30 June, have proved to be unfounded. Above all else, it is a great pleasure to maintain contact with all the Clubs which meant so much to me during the past year. This is especially the case when I am returning to them to make presentations for their achievements during 2009-10. The success of the District 1010 Clubs has been outstanding, without doubt, with so many far exceeding my hopes for the year, and in the process demolishing so many of my concerns at a stroke. Nowhere has this been more true than on the question of membership. You may remember my hope, and indeed that of John Kenny, that Clubs would achieve a net gain of one member during the year. Available to Clubs which had been especially successful were three RI Awards - for achieving the highest membership growth rate, for bringing in the most new members and for achieving the highest member retention rate. It would be rare for any one Club to win more than one of these awards, and unknown in my knowledge for one Club to win all three. However, this is exactly what the Glenrothes Club has achieved in the past year. In presenting the certificates signed by John Kenny to Immediate Past President Ian Hastie, it was my pleasure to congratulate him and all of the Glenrothes members for an outstanding achievement.
