President
Jim McCulloch of the Rotary Club of South Queensferry opened the club's virtual
meeting on Thursday 7th May by announcing the Club Council had approved a
donation of £500 to the North West Edinburgh Food Bank. This is an area of the
Edinburgh Food Project which is part of the nation-wide network of foodbanks
supported by the Trussell Trust working to combat poverty and hunger across the
UK. President Jim also reminded the twenty-seven members and one guest taking
part that Sunday 10th May was to have been the day scheduled for this year's
Rotary Forth Bridge Abseil which was cancelled because of coronavirus. Last
year's abseil marked the milestone of £1 million raised for charity during the
event's ten-year existence. The club intends to resume running the abseil as
soon as it is safe to organise such an event. There then followed an exchange
of fellowship and a short quiz through the medium of Zoom. The quiz was tied
between Vikki Renwick and Matt Purdie. Vikki won the tie-breaker by prvoviding the more accurate estimate of the length of the river Thames.
