Well done to Eva and Masie from the Rotary Club of Portobello who gave a fantastic joint presentation to members.

Eva and Masie gave brilliant accounts of their experience which was further backed up by their mothers who also spoke about the impact of the week.

Eva's mother Ruth said that speaking about the impact the week has had made her feel quite emotional and expressed sincere gratitude to Rotary for their support.

Well done both and thank you to the club for their long running support.

Norman Ireland was recognised as the clubs RYLA Champion along with Portobello High School Head Teacher Greg McDowall.

Portobello Rotary Club has long sponsored pupils aged 16 and 17 from Portobello High School to go to the Rotary organised week-long residential youth leadership development programme (known as RYLA) - held this year at the Abernethy Barcaple Outdoor Centre, Castle Douglas.

This year two young women attended - the cost (£1,380) shared between ourselves and our community member, Portobello High School.

It's always a genuinely rewarding experience for pupils - and this year has been no exception as this letter from the parents of one of the pupils demonstrates:

"I barely have the words to express how grateful me and my husband are to you and your team. My daughter had the most wonderful, wonderful time. She came home full of the joys and stories and new found confidence. And she slept for 14 hours!!

We are so delighted and happy for her. What an experience. We have loved hearing her every detail. The memories and friendships will last forever."

So, a big thank you to all who come along to support our monthly car boot sales at Newcraighall station car park. This is what you help to make happen - along with helping the other local, national and international charities we contribute funds to each year.

After all these weeks of sunshine too! But that's life - and we need the rain.

We welcomed Gabriela Amin back as our President this evening - and thanked Norman Ireland for his last two years in that important role for our club.

And we welcomed Stephen Ritchie back as a member.

All told, a good evening!

Do think of joining us - we're a small, friendly and positive club.
