Hamilton, East Kilbride and Blantyre clubs were top of the hit list. The Spey walk was discussed. The Vocational committee thought it was an excellent idea and would certainly have participated if it had been held 20 years ago. This was by a vote of 4-1. As far as the club dinner was concerned, the vote was 4-1 in favour of black tie. As for vocational visits, David Dobson was voted in his absence, and by a unanimous majority, to undertake this simple task. David Wilson will speak to Raymond Ali about resurrecting the annual custom of senior pupils addressing the club in June. Rotary Civic awards were discussed. Carrot should be approached since they read the Reformer from cover to cover; they may be able to suggest a suitable candidate. AOCB It was pointed out that the two votes held, both resulting in the identical 4-1 decision was not coincidence. To go back to Members only Start Page Click Here.
