A Vocational Update

The weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Kirkcaldy was held on November 17th at the Dean Park Hotel. President John Kilgour welcomed 19 members of the club along with 1 guest from The Rotary Club of Raith

Winners of the 200 Club were announced.
Club members passed on their wishes of a speedy recovery for Ian Brown.
PP David Muncey gave notice of a concert by the Kinghorn Singers at St Bryce Centre at 2.30pm on Sunday 29th November. Tickets are available at £6.
PP Ann Mitchell reminded members of the Young Musician event at Balwearie HS on Tuesday 24th November at 7.00pm. Support from the Club’s members would be very welcome. A Hi 5 event will take place at Kirkcaldy High School on 3 December. It’s always as a fun night and again we hope for a good turnout.

Support for the annual Kids’ Christmas party on 19th December was sought. Members can sign up on the web site if they’re available to help out with the party, preparations and/or the fund raising collections early in December

This week members had the unexpected treat of hearing President John give a vocational update. He had been asked to talk to Glenrothes Rotary Club later in the week and thought he would give it a trial run with his own club first!
He gave everyone a lively account of some of his more memorable moments from his early days with Fife Warehousing (now Fife Group) with anecdotes which managed to include politicians, grain mountains, bees and clay pigeons…
Now Managing Director of Fife Group, PP John also gave everyone an interesting insight into the range and scale of the services the company delivers today and set the business context, describing some of the challenges facing Fife in today’s economic climate as well as highlighting some of its undoubted successes.

Brian Munro then gave the vote of thanks, commenting on how today’s meeting had been more like the One Show - with John acting as Chair, delivering the grace and giving the talk! The meeting closed at 2.00pm
