There was no Seagate Rotary meeting last week, as many members were away on the first of the local tribal rituals, the Wee Pies. Other members had a ‘Scatter night’ making social visits to other Rotary clubs in the area.
On Saturday the club had a ‘Shanghai Supper’, a Chinese carryout for 20 hosted by Ian and Louise Dickson and organised by Pam Lodge. On Monday a number visited the ‘Devil’s Porridge’ exhibition at Eastriggs, near Annan. The former site of the largest munitions factory in the world, stretching over 9 miles along the Solway, the factory produced 1100 tons of cordite a week to charge the bullets and shells needed in both World Wars.
Monday evening’s meeting was a low key event, with a ‘millionaire’ quiz hosted by President Eric Greig. Winner with the longest unbroken run was Adam Moonie, and overall most points scored was Sandy Niven.
