This week's guest speaker, Kevin Clark gave a most interesting, humorous and educational presentation.
Born in South Africa, educated in Architecture at Cape Town University, he and a friend Jurgen were encouraged to travel to Europe and Asia to see and experience the ancient architecture of these distant lands. They headed to London, bought a 1958 Matchless motor-cycle, attached a cargo carrying sidecar and set off. This was 1964 with no GPS, no cellphones, no sponsors. Many of the roads they travelled were nothing but dirt tracks but 31,500kms later, they made it back to UK.
It's not often you get to introduce your own nephew as guest speaker for rotary who has led such an interesting and varied life totally committed to the safety and welfare of our nation.
Kurt began his presentation by explaining how he was introduced to the military. Growing up in small town Levin surrounded by his mates and a love of cars. School wasn’t really his thing and he began to ‘drift’. At the time it didn’t feel like a big deal. Little did he know that the choices he made then were going to give him the direction he needed in life.
