On Monday, President Eric Greig presented a cheque for £1000 on behalf of Seagate Rotary to Macmillan Cancer Support. The money was part of the charity funds raised at the Sportsmen’s Dinner. The cheque was accepted by Laura Stockwell, fundraising manager, who briefly outlined the way that Macmillan provides medical, financial, practical and emotional support to cancer sufferers and their families.
For entertainment on Monday, Seagate was treated to a quiz with a difference. The questions were those from the district final of the Primary Schools Quiz, held recently in Glasgow. Some required specialist knowledge of recent pop music and children’s TV, and others were on general knowledge, geography, history and science. Only one member beat the score of the winning 11 year olds, but it was noted that the pupils were in teams of 4. Winner was Hugh Hutchison, who must be a fan of Peppa Pig, with joint runners up Alex McConnell and Sandy Niven.
