Last Week



It was an interesting discussion on the Golf Day on Wednesday 5th June.

It was decided that the prize giving shoud be a social evening for Rotarians and partners.  It seems that the dinner is a set meal provided for participants and helpers but it would cost visitors R300 per head. Maybe there could be some flexibility there in terms of choice for those not wanting to spend that amount of money.




Next Week

It's our monthly Business Meeting.

International - Scotland


One coin at a time, a whimsical contraption celebrates a legendary Scottish locomotive while raising thousands of dollars for charity. Ken Wilson, a past president of the Rotary Club of Inverness Loch Ness, led the effort to commission and install the Flying Scotsman Automata in a local shopping center in 2016. A contribution of about 1 pound activates the complex mechanism, which depicts a kilted train conductor in an engine on a track trailed by bobbing carriages. Inside are characters that include a couple knitting and drinking tea, a pilot flying a plane, and Nessie, of course, whose tail spins to the musical accompaniment. The club has maintained the device and collected about 27,000 pounnds, allowing it to disburse more than 350 pounds in grants each month. “It has enabled Rotary Loch Ness to help nearly 60 local charities,” says the mall’s former manager, Jackie Cuddy, “which is amazing.”
