We have had a friendship link with the Eastern Districts of Adelaide Club, Australia for over thirty years.  For most of the time, because of the great distance apart, we have kept in touch through correspondence.  We have met up at international conventions across the world.  The last of these was at Glasgow in 2007 when we caught up with Margaret Trudinger (Trudy), a remarkable lady in her 90s who,  despite breaking her hip a few weeks before,  made the long trip to Glasgow.

    We have undertaken at least one joint project – raising funds to sponsor a Fijian lady to train in home economics for  three years. 

      Last year the Eastern Districts Club celebrated its 40th anniversary and in recognition of this milestone we sent a small contribution to their project to help drought stricken Australian farmers. 

     Over the years when members have been over here in Scotland or in South Australia we have met to exchange greetings and strengthen friendship ties.  Although far apart in distance our ethos remains very similar.
