FELLOWSHIP

Events will be organised throughout the year with the intention of providing opportunities to strengthen ties between Rotarians within and between clubs. Last year there were several occasions like the go-karting and bowling, the Perth Race Evening, the trip to the Edinburgh Tattoo, the Mystery Tour and the Gavel Competition to name but a few.
