Week of 13th September President Albert welcomed 21 members to our first meeting back from a brief (three-week) lockdown.  All were happy to be able to meet in person again–hopefully we’ll be able to continue meeting like this!  Apologies from Ian Jennings, Dick Jennings and Bernadette Milne.  Dick recently suffered a bit of a […]

  Week of 6th September We had a great rollup on Zoom on Monday night, with 15 members in attendance and getting involved.

  Week of 30th August Back to Zoom–not popular with most members, but better than not meeting at all. President Albert welcomed nine members to our weekly meeting, which was a good opportunity to catch up and find out how everyone is dealing with lockdown.  Most of our planned Rotary activities are now on hold–the […]

  Week of 23rd August Another week of lockdown and no face-to-face meetings.  If the lockdown lifts this weekend as originally intended, we will meet next Monday (30th August) at the Marrar Pub for a social night, but all signs are that the lockdown will continue for a while longer.  If we remain in lockdown, […]
