Thank You to The Sinclair Family
The focus of the evening was to make a presentation to the Sinclair family on behalf of Yea and Alexandra Rotary to thank them all for their huge contribution to the success of Cycle Dindi. Cyclists were given unique opportunities to visit working farms at Nutfield and Cremona and experience genuine rural hospitality. A PowerPoint accompanied the presentation.
Thank you, John, Clare and extended family, for your wonderful generosity over a decade.
