19th August Visit of District Governor David Rankin form Rotary Club of Howe in Fife

It's Tuesday and the start of another round of club visits, I have set of at 5:30 am in very rainy conditions to catch my flight to Stornoway. All was well at Edinburgh I departed on time and arrived in a sun drenched Stornoway to be greeted by the club's answer to Ant & Dec, Norman Macleod & Murdoch Macleod two of the nicest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They kept me entertained with their general good humour and banter whilst giving me a tour of part of the wonderful Isle of Lewis before taking me to the County Hotel where I was greeted by President Jane Campbell and several of the members. A super buffet lunch was followed by my address to the club which was well received. What a great club which is now beginning to grow with a possible intake of 4 or 5 new members shortly. After the meeting I was taken round the rest of the island by President Jane and Iain Macaulay before being taken back to the airport for my flight back to Edinburgh. A truly memorable experience I am looking forward to returning in April for the club's 50th Charter Celebrations.

Membership: There is a drive to dramatically increase the membership of the club and try to introduce more young members. All club members are encouraged to help find suitable new members and guidance on new membership can be found in Useful Links
Administration: Incoming Secretary Kenneth MacDonald is keen that more use is made of electronic communications and hopes all members will regularly check their e-mails and this website for news and forthcoming activities.
Club Archives: President Ken has kindly donated space in his document storage facility so we can finally keep a track of the club's history. Bob Adam will be indexing the main documents and boxing them for storage. Secretary Kenneth will be making digital copies of all important historic documents and all Photos so that they can be available for our 50th celebrations.
