My time in Africa - 02/03/20
Weekly Press Report
On Monday evening Seagate Rotary’s acting President Hugh Hutchison presented a cheque to Stuart McDonald of North Ayrshire Council Streetscene. Some months ago the Council planted 3000 purple crocus bulbs, provided by Seagate, on the slopes in front of the Trinity Church. Purple is the colour of Rotary’s campaign for the eradication of Polio
The Seagate Rotary annual Sportsmen’s Dinner on Friday was a very successful evening, both socially and financially. Over £3700 was raised for Seagate’s charity funds, with the main beneficiaries being the Crosshouse Children’s Fund and the Ayrshire Central Alzheimer Scotland Unit. Thanks are due to all who contributed to the event, by taking part or by donating prizes for the raffle and auction
Seagate’s speaker on Monday was Colin Cameron, talking about his, and his wife’s, long connection with Malawi. In 1957, as a newly qualified and newly married lawyer, Colin took a post in what was then the British Protectorate of Nyasaland. His wife worked as a midwife. He supported the country’s pro independence movement, and by 1960 was a minister in the national government. He had to leave in 1964, when the country became a dictatorship, and established a legal practice in Irvine. 30 years later he was invited by the new democratic President to be Malawi’s Honorary Consul in Scotland, and represented the country for 20 years. Recently Colin and his wife were honoured by both the Scottish and Malawi Governments in recognition of their 60 years of service to Malawi and international relations.
This was a fascinating life story, and after questions a Vote of Thanks was proposed by Fiona Lee.
