Vocational<br />
The Vocational Committee organises visits to places of interest for members and<br />
partners – which are inevitably well supported.<br />
As a number of members are<br />
involved in construction and related<br />
professions, visits to major construction<br />
projects are always popular. We have<br />
been given guided tours to the Falkirk<br />
Wheel (left), the Clackmannanshire<br />
Bridge, the new Scottish Parliament<br />
building and a Biomass plant in<br />
Glenrothes – where member Rod<br />
Jones was Construction Manager.<br />
Locally, Graham’s Dairy, (left) hosted<br />
a tour of their processing plant in<br />
Bridge of Allan. We have also visited<br />
the BP Refinery in Grangemouth and<br />
Harvey’s Maps and the Pistol Factory<br />
in Doune.<br />
Further afield, we have visited the<br />
BBC Headquarters in Glasgow,<br />
a vehicle wrapping workshop in<br />
Cumbernauld and, with Govan<br />
Rotary, Ibrox Stadium (left).<br />
We have also, purely in the spirit of<br />
furthering our knowledge (!), visited a<br />
number of distilleries over the years.<br />
For some unaccountable reason,<br />
these visits have proved very popular!<br />
