July traditionally sees the start of a new Rotary year, the retirement of the year's club president and the election of president and vice president for the following year. 

For the first time in the clubs long history, though, the incoming president Findlay McLaren will take on the role for two years.

Retiring president Derek Mathie welcomed Findlay as President, Eric Govan as Vice President and oferred his best wshes for the next two years. 

Derek went on the review the work of the club during his presidency. Much has been achieved during a time when changes meant that Derek took over as President - whilst also continuing to fill the job of Secretary. The club expressed its warm thanks to Derek for his exceptional leadership in taking the club forward.
