Weekly Meeting

Wed, Mar 12th 2014 at 12:00 am - 12:00 am

Speaker Supply: Pat Mitchell
Fellowship: Ian Donaldson

Honorary Member Lesley McAndrew joined thirty-four members at the meeting, with President Wille Nicoll in the chair.

Past President Canon Pat McInally reported on his recent visit to Munteme in Uganda. This isolated rural community had no running water for the school until we supported the drilling of a bore-hole and the installation of a pump 45 metres below the surface, which will keep a 7000 litre storage tank topped up all year round. The children no longer have to walk 400 metres to the nearest water supply every day, queuing up with 20 litre jerry cans before carrying water back to the school.

Vice-President Pat Mitchell spoke after dinner, comparing three different musical interpretations of the Romeo and Juliet story - those of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Leonard Bernstein. She played recorded extracts from the Prologue, the Love Scene, the Fight and the Epilogue of all three, and demonstrated her counting skills by coming in on time with the cymbals in Tchaikovsky's Overture after 133 bars!

Ian Donaldson thanked Pat on behalf of the club.
