After a long delay due to Covid, the annual Primary 7 Rotary Lunch event recommenced today.
Ava Lily and Izzy represented Portpatrick at this year’s event where the guest speakers were Bejing Olympic Gold and Silver Curling Medallists Vicky Wright (Gold), Bobby Lammie (Silver) and Hammy McMillan (Silver).
The girls enjoyed a tasty lunch of Tomato soup or fruit juice, followed by fish and chips and a wee cup of tea. This was followed by a Q & A session with our Olympians. They talked about practicing for about 7 hours a day, five days a week and travelling a lot for competitions. The curling sports heroes said that they were first introduced to curling by attending the curling club at the North West Castle in Primary 7. So, now is about the time for anyone interested in curling as a sport to think about joining.
The girls represented our school well, chatting easily with a member of the Rotary Club, who joined us at our table throughout the event.
A Brief Recount By Ava Lily & Izzy
We first sat down with a club member and were served our starters. Through conversation, we learned about what the Rotary Club does and we talked about what we do at school. We asked the curlers about tips for curling and more!
We had a lovely lunch and participated in a raffle for a chance to win a curling T-shirt and a signed photo. We also got our menus signed by the Olympic medallists and got Team GB flags. The event was really enjoyable.
