Secretary's Scribble
The Annual Dinner on 22nd November went extremely well, the best we have had. We have booked here again for next year!
Superb draw proceeds to go to EACH.
Reminder that Secretary has been in post 25 years and that the December 2014 Newsletter was his 300 edition. Considering that he took over on a temporary basis in 1989 when the duly elected Secretary failed to show for two months and was never seen again, that's not a bad record!
2015 programme now on page 8 of the Newsletter, some 28 events to get involved in and that's just the ones we are making the arrangements for it doesn't include any that members make their own arrangements for.
