Friday 1st of July 2016 Ian handed over the guardianship of the club to incoming President Bruce Gunn. Opening the meeting Ian welcomed guests Jim Martin from our daughter club Kittoch Rotary and Margaret Morton incoming President of our mother club Strathaven Rotary Club and Depute Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire.   Of course the highlight was the 50th Charter Dinner held in the Holiday Inn, East Kilbride, when many Rotarians from other clubs, guests, members and their wives gathered to celebrate the occasion.
Ian's last and very pleasant duty was to present Rotarian Liam Donnelly with one of the highest awards in Rotary, the Paul Harris award. Liam has supported the East Kilbride Cancer Research Relay for Life for more than 12 years, erecting and manning a tent in support of survivors, supplying free food and refreshments during the 24 hours of the relay.

Ian thanked all for their support, and before handing the chain of office to Bruce, Ian proudly brandished high a trophy presented to him at the District handover lunch nominating East Kilbride Rotary Club as Club of the year in recognition of their contribution to the community.
This is the second time the club have received this accolade, the last time during President Frank McCuskey's year 2008-2009.
