The Rotary Club of Oban were visited by 24 members  of the 31st annual exchange trip with pupils from Oban High School hosting their exchange students from Scotland High School, Laurinburg, North Carolina, USA.

The Exchange was set up 31 years ago between the Rotary Clubs of Oban and Laurinburg, in association with both High Schools in Argyll and North Carolina, and has been a huge success over the years.

All 24 students and their chaperones joined Rotary Club members at the club’s lunchtime meeting and gave talks about their studies and what they hoped for in the future.

The party of young people have been busy visiting local primary schools to encourage young pupils in Argyll and have been visiting other local groups and places of interest.

Since the exchange started 744 young students have participated in friendship and learning both in Scotland and in North Carolina with friendships being made and lasting a life time.

Both Rotary Clubs and High Schools hope that this fantastic exchange goes from strength to strength in the years ahead.
