Scatter!
Rotarians have always visited Rotarians from other Clubs, whether to support them on their Charter Night, to try and beat them in the annual Rotary District Quiz, to seek out a speaker of particular interest, or by attending Conferences and Assemblies, or perhaps just to shoot the breeze and find fellowship
All members are welcomed at all Clubs, and so no invitation is ever needed; just the courtesy of advance notice of the proposed visit
Clubs sometimes hold a “Scatter Week”, in which members of one club disperse and visit several neighbouring Clubs
In the last couple of weeks
· nine Rotarians from Llandudno went to Ruthin Rotary, who hosted a quiz,
· two members went to Abergele Rotary to hear Gerrie Bailey speak on the work of her Chernobyl Childrens Lifeline charity,
· three members went to St Asaph Rotary to learn about Denbight’s heritage
· four Rotarians from Llandudno went to Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr Rotary to hear about their Tools for Africa project and the upcoming visit of a contingent of Rotarians to Africa
We look forward to reciprocal visits to our Club – any one of 1.2M Rotarians in 35,000 Clubs worldwide is welcome – let’s hope they don’t all come at once
