Rotary Club of Forres (Visit No 56)


Our final visit of this week took us to the Rotary Club of Forres where we were warmly welcomed by none other than the larger than life Donnie Williamson resplendent in kilt as usual. The club meet in the very nice surroundings of Ramnee House Hotel. After the warm greetings from Donnie we were then met by another larger than life character in the form of club president Rene Looper with his usual friendly smile. The club members made us feel very welcome indeed with their fantastic hospitality. I had the great pleasure of welcoming a new member to the club, Wing Commander Anthony McCord who is serving with the Royal Air Force at Kinloss. The club are certainly well involved with many local and International projects. The sales continue to soar of the clubs Foundation Highland Shortbread (now available for delivery straight to your home from the factory). How's that for a plug guys, keep up the good work. Rita and I enjoyed the day with you, thank you all for your hospitality.
