The 4th June was 'Club Assembly' with business activity and future plans being discussed. We were delighted to welcome Assistant Governor Isobel Clifford as guest and speaker.

With club president-elect Findlay McLaren in the chair, individual teams summarised the many activities with which the club has been involved. Included were the several youth programmes with primary schools and with Waid Academy; Christmas postal delivery service - still going strong  after 30 years or so - and with special mention of the annual Charity Coastal Path Walk. This latter has so far raised well over £100,000 for many, many different charities. 2019 will be its 10th year - so the hope is that it will be a ‘special edition’

Both Findlay and Isobel spoke of opportunities and challenges in the years ahead and of ways in which Rotary can continue to engage with communities and attract men and women who wish to join this International service organisation - in fact the largest voluntary service organisation in the world.

We heard too of new initiatives - the innovative ways that some clubs are choosing to develop and also of support that is available from the Rotary District team.

Following questions and debate, Findlay spoke of his confidence and hopes for the club's future and, on behalf of the club, expressed our appreciation and thanks to Isobel for her time and support in being with us.
