Vicky Jack - Mountaineer

We were fortunate to have the well known mountaineer Vicky Jack as our Guest Speaker.  Vicky gave a fasciniating account of her ascents of the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.  The audience were spellbound and at the end of the talk bombarded Vicky with questions.  Rotarian Paddy Ryan gave the vote of thanks.  The night also featured the handing-out of cheques to the various causes who benfited from the funds raised at the recent Am-Am Golf Charity Day.  These were - Mary's Meals, Young Explorers Scotland, Callander Hockey Club, Callander Boxing Club and Callander Brass Band Junior Section.  In view of the humanitarian crisis in Syria a raffle was held to raise funds to finance the purchase of an Aquabox - the magnificent sum of £265 was raised.  The prizes - 2 bottles of Glengoyne malt - were donated by the Glengoyne distillery, to whom go our thanks.
