At a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Belfast in the Raddisson Hotel, the club was honoured by a visit from the Hon Seth Kwame Acheampong MP, of the Mpraeso Constituency in the Ghana Parliament in Accra.

Rotarian Seth a member of the Commonwealth working party on Conflict Resolution was visiting the Northern Ireland Assembly at Stormont as a guest of our Speaker. He excused himself from the evening session and hailed a cab to attend a meeting of the Rotary Club of Belfast before heading back to Stormont for an official dinner.

Rotarian Seth is a relative new member of Rotary having until two years ago been an active Rotaracter before becoming a founder member of the Accra Ridge Club.

He presented the Belfast Club with a bannerette of the Accra Ridge Club and left with the bannerette of the UK No1 Club and a copy of our recent DVD.

Why did he choose to come to the Belfast club? Before leaving Accra he had promised his President that he would visit a Rotary club during his visit, he checked out the relevant Web sites and the dates on his itinerary and discovered that the Rotary Club of Belfast held a club meeting on Thursday evenings in the Raddisson Hotel
