A CHRISTCHURCH hospice has reeled in the funds thanks to a donation from a local rotary club. Resourceful Rotarian Robin Scott, president of Boscombe and Southbourne Rotary, made a rod for his own back when he delivered his club’s latest donation to the Macmillan Hospice in Christchurch.
Coronavirus restrictions prevented Robin from handing over the money, but that didn t stop him from devising his own delivery method by using a giant cheque and a fishing rod Robin said: In normal times we present our donations to the Macmillan Unit as a group with celebratory photographs and a party atmosphere.
