Youth

At last, after the Covid lockdowns and associated concerns, we have been able to re-instate the District 1010 Primary School Quiz. The first round for our local pupils here in Nairn was today, on 24 March 2023, involving teams from Auldearn, Cawdor, Millbank and Rosembank Primary Schools. A great big thank you to the schools for their help in getting this organised, and a huge congratulations to Millbank Primary for winning the round and our local Rotary trophy. Congratulations too, to runners up Auldearn Primary and to the other two teams for their great effort.

In the photo to the right, Christine Mackenzie of the Rotary Club of Nairn is presenting the trophy to winning team Millbank, who look suitably pleased with themselves after answering ten rounds of 6 questions each.

Above are the partipants for all four schools, the winners (central front) and runners up (either side, front).

In addition to Christine asking the questions, Yvonne Cotter and Alison Hall were markers and adjudicators.

Nairn Rotary Club has sponsored two new Rotakids clubs - one in Millbank Primary and one in Rosebank Primary. Both received their charters in November.

The Charters were presented to the Presidents of the Rotakids clubs by Laurie Fraser, President of the Rotary Club of Nairn, and Alistair Risk who is the Rotary Area support officer for Rotakids.

Millbank Rotakids are putting a novel twist to the idea of advent calendars. Instead of opening a door and taking something out each day, they are collecting items each day, for donating to charity. The picture shows the Rotakids pupils with their hamper of donations for Mrs Catherine Delaney (second from left) from the Nairn Food Bank.
