The International
Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians
Great Britain and Ireland Chapter
An interesting observation from the map
(courtesy of O/S)
is that you will see 5 great capital cities representing 5
countries that make up the British Isles all of which have their
own parliament. Eire
(Southern Ireland) being
totally independent and the only country of the 5 to adopt the
Euro
There is also another parliament on one of our most famous
islands (well to us
motorcyclists anyway) and
that of course is the Isle of Man.
The diversity, the people and the history is what makes these
British Isles Great. Famous names of towns and cities shown on
this map of the British Isles can be seen across the world in
countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, India and
many more influenced during the days of Empire
Millions of visitors come to Britain every year for many
different reasons, some to trace their ancestry, others to
marvel at places like the Giant's Causeway in Ireland, the
Western Isles of Scotland, the Valley's of Wales or the beauty
of the stone buildings of the Cotswolds but all can be assured
of a welcome from one of the friendliest people on earth
