The annual presidents and official elect training (Poets) for all Rotarians was presented by the Rotary district governor, Jacques Venter from Aliwal North, at the Dunamis Christian School in Welkom. The 90 Rotarians who attended the event in middle March were from the three Welkom area clubs, as well as Parys, Kroonstad, Bloemfontein and Kimberley. In attendance was also the district secretary, Hilary Augustus from Durban North, as well as a number of past district governors. “This was the first time that Poets was hosted in Welkom. Normally, it is either hosted in Colesberg or Ladybrand, so it was a great honour for Doreen Cloete and the Flamingo Rotary Club to host this event,” says Rotarian Jill Lombard.
