Saturday saw Rita and I head for Wishaw in a dreadful rain soaked morning, however the weather broke and the day was excellent. We met up with my other Scottish DG colleagues, as all of the Scottish Districts sponsor the games. A huge amount of competitors from all over Scotland were there to take part in a rather moving day of fun and serious competition. We were privileged to meet some of the Rotarian's from Aberdeen accompanied by a recently honoured PHF in Morag Mitchell. After a great day of competition my colleagues and I were asked to present all of the medals to the winning participants. The day was rounded off when we were introduced to non other than Scotland's very own Yvonne Murray-Mooney MBE who was there to encourage and talk to those taking part. A tremendous day was enjoyed by all, what a really worthwhile event this is.
