The Annual General Meeting of the Club will be held on Thursday 12 December. This will also be the last meeting for the year.
There are a number of positions vacant on the Board for the 2020-21 Rotary year with John Campbell leaving the position of Secretary; Di Lane leaving the Fundraising position; and I will be leaving the position of President. So far, nominations have been received from Di Lane for the position of Secretary and from Rob McLennan for the position of Fundraising.
