Due to unforeseen circumstances there was
no speaker at the Rotary Club meeting last week so, instead, several business
matters were discussed by the members. Robin Mason reported that the
Rotary Literary High Tea held in the Mansfield Clubrooms last Sunday as part of
the Reivers Festival was a great success. Over 60 attended to hear
Rosemary Goring, Author and Publicist give an excellent talk on the Borders
after the Battle of Flodden and what effect it had on the countryside and Hawick
in particular.
