“Not being able to host the Rotary K2C Cycle Tour did not mean that we were resting on our laurels, on the contrary, we had to think and work smarter and as a result, a number of exciting projects are in the pipeline – a unique regional recipe book, an online auction and also the completion of our borehole project at the Poulo crèche in The Oaks,” said Manderson.
