2010 Conference at Eden Court, Inverness.

This year’s conference is the 60th. and therefore an important milestone for our District and its Clubs. An outline programme is attached to whet your appetite but of course the main function of a conference apart from an informing role is to provide fellowship opportunities.

This year the Saturday programme is a full one to encourage day registrations which at only £18.00 represents terrific value as coffees and a buffet lunch is included! This is a great opportunity for those who have not attended rotary conferences before and who wish to learn more about Rotary and its activities to come along and find out. It is also a great opportunity to renew old acquaintances and to make new ones.
Why not make it a Club outing and have a great day out.

For the more traditional conference attendees and partners there is a bus outing laid on to Baxter’s of Fochabers with a light tea laid on and a cookery demonstration for only a £10.00 per head! For the sportsmen and women there is also the opportunity to take part in Curling and target golf. Of course there is also the shopping!

We need you to register as soon as possible so that we can advise numbers to the various venues and there are only seventy places left at the Dinner/Ceilidh as of this date.
