In attendance was also the district secretary, Hilary Augustus from Durban North, as well as a number of past district governors. \u201cThis 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,\u201d says Rotarian Jill Lombard.
