Marie and Alex visited the Rotary Club of Kelvin, Marie's sponsor Club, on Thursday 26th Nov.
The members were delighted to see their "Successful Candidate" and enjoyed Marie's account of the selection process and an update of what she and the rest of the team have been doing since then.
Alex gave an account of his role and outlined the plans for the GSE to New Zealand.
The Club members wished them well and asked for a return visit after the adventure.

Baxterbear's first official engagement.
On Tuesday 24th November he accompanied Lindsay and Alex on a visit to the Rotary Club of Troon.
Baxterbear remained his usual charming self while Lindsay and Alex made a presentation about GSE in general and their own involvement with the 2010 GSE team.
Judging by the number of questions asked, the presentation seemed to be a success.
Pictured with "the Star" are; Troon's President Elect, Douglas Fraser, Lindsay and Alex.
