Dictionaries define fellowship as the friendly association of people who share common interests. One commonly hear this word used in relation to the association of people who share a common religion. But it goes beyond this, as Sean explained - 'it is not limited to Lord of the Rings'.
Over lunch, someone remarked that most of us have forgotten that this used to be the main reason why we joined learned societies such as PAM. We joined because we saw it as a way to meet more like- minded people; to further ourselves professionally and socially, to learn from each other, to share common interests, to travel, to play sports but mostly because we like the people in that group. These people seek out opportunity to spend time together, they give themselves excuses to travel with their 'fellows'.
As PAMSC committee members did recently when they traveled to Kota Kinabalu to attend the Borneo Design Conference. The trip was intended to reinforce our own fellowship while showing support to our fellow Borneon PAM Chapter - 3 days, 2 nights; it was effortless but richly rewarding.
