Club meetings on Zoom

For the entirety of our Rotary Year 2020 – 2021, our then President Frank Williamson ably presided at all our regular Thursday evening meetings on Zoom.  Another Past President, Ian Lumsden, acted as host throughout the year, and still does, and facilitated often full attendances of our membership at meetings, with guests joining us from time to time. Our regular weekly meetings programme included our Christmas Night and Burns Supper with both gatherings being organised by our then Vice-President, now current President, Douglas Irving.
