Weekly meeting with guest speaker
At last week's meeting of the Rotary Club
President Mairhi Trickett reported that the Cookery Demonstration held last
Friday night raised £760.12p which is being split between The Friends of the
Community Hospital and local Rotary charities. It was also agreed to
donate £50 to the Children's Book Award for primary school pupils and £100 to
Hawick in Bloom. Past President Bobby Cairns introduced the speaker Jake
Coltman who showed slides from his huge collection of postcards of "Auld Hawick"
from the first half of the last century together with interesting anecdotes
which generated many questions and reflections. The vote of thanks was
given by the President.
