This was the year that we started to entertain the older people in the area by taking them off to the coast for an afternoon trip with tea on arrival. This proved to be very popular not just with the local people who went on the trip but also with us Rotarians who accompanied them, great fun being had by all.

I am glad to say that this project has continued every year since and I hope will continue ad infinitum.

Believe it or not the old boy on the right of this photograph is not one of the senior citizens on the trip but one of us. He can spot a camera from a mile away and never fails to get in the picture.
