Speaker - Tom Gold, The Tree Line, Topic Lifecoach
Raffle - Alan Brown
Reception - David Buchanan / Sandy Mackenzie

On Thursday 12th March the speaker at the Rotary Club of South Queensferry was Tom Gold. Tom has an honours degree in psychology and is a qualified bushcraft instructor based in Balfron. He has worked for twenty years with groups and individuals facing significant challenges or wanting to make changes in their lives. Man's oldest requirement is for shelter, food and fire and Tom has seen the benefit in teaching people to be self-sufficient in an outdoor environment. Simple tasks can prove invigorating - for example, wood heats you twice, once when you chop it and once when you burn it. The outdoors need not be challenging with everyone struggling to complete tasks. Much satisfaction can be gained by simply learning how to build a fire and shelter in the woods. Tom has seen how attitudes can be changed in circumstances as varied as a correctional boot camp in Arizona and a company day out in the countryside near Glasgow. More information can be found on Tom's website at www.tomgoldlifecoach.com Tom's presentation prompted many questions from the floor. He was introduced by David Buchanan and Sandy Mackenzie proposed the vote of thanks.
