Thank you to everyone who came along and helped celebrate 40 years of our wonderful group. Amazing to see so many people coming together from across our community.

Thank you to Ruth and her team at STRATHORN FARM STABLES.

Thank you to all the helpers today. We couldn’t do it without you. Special mention to Mary and Chris for pulling everything together today.

A new addition to our HQ is The Pickford Archives. Aptly named after our lovely Barbara and David Pickford who take photographs throughout the many many years helping the group.

Ian from Aberdeen St Nicholas Rotary Club was kind enough to officially unveiled and cut the ribbon 🎀

Next time you pop in past, pick an album and have a look.

Thank you Barbara and David!

Ten Rotarians and many friends, family, drivers and volunteers enjoyed a wonderful morning to help celebrate Garioch Carriage Driving for the Disabled at Strathorn Forty years . Six drivers demonstrated their abilities along with a coach volunteer and Tommy the horse. Ian along with another coach did some judging and spoke with each participant with praise and encouragement. A buffet lunch and lots of fun and stories with their history. The volunteers do an amazing job, and it was good to support them . Ruth kindly took Edward and the big carriage filled with many attending, on a few journeys round the tracks

‘Happy Birthday Mike and a big thank you to Granite Heart’.

Two things happened last week.

It was Mike’s birthday so we had a cake, and we had two visitors from the community charity Granite Heart at Westhill.

Our chairman Alan Clark had made an application to their fund for money to progress with coaching training for two of our volunteers. Recently we were delighted to hear they had allocated us THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS!

Susan and Megan from Granite Heart come to see us and presented us with a giant cheque. In return we gave them the treat of going out in the covered wagon with Ruth Skinner and Edward the Clydesdale.
