Past President Dale Orr organised a group of brave  friends to take part in an abseil from the roof of the Europa Hotel in order to raise funds for project Ciara.The brave group met on the roof of the Europa on Sunday 7th June and were given instructions on the technique of abseiling. They were supported by other Rotarians who kept their feet firmly on the ground. Dale was joined by his daughter Rachael, son Daniel and courageous friends – next time we’ll see more Rotarians up there!

Funds raised by sponsorship totaling nearly £900 will be channeled into project Ciara to provide a pipeline of fresh water to villages in Kenya.
