Wednesday evening has come around Rita and I have arrived in the lovely town of Banchory on Royal Deeside. The club meet in the Burnett Arms Hotel where we were welcomed by President David Marquardt and a very friendly group of Rotarian's. The club are well known for their hospitality, tonight was no exception. During dinner I was pleased to hear of many of the projects that the club has undertaken including the erection of a rather superb ornamental stone on the entry in to the town, welcoming all to Banchory and displaying the Rotary Wheel. The club most certainly are in tune with this years challenges and are involved in many new and existing projects at home and internationally. It was a pleasure to address such a first class team, I certainly look forward to seeing the progress of many of their efforts during this year. The club have committed to Schools 4 All and Polio Plus which are the main emphasis for 2008-9.
