President's Comments
 
A warm welcome was given to everyone at the meeting - our members, guests and friends.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Chain of Office came out of hiding and was worn for this special meeting to induct a new member (and I found out how heavy it is to wear!!).
 
Yes, we are a busy Club, join in, give us feedback anytime and have a great week.

Sergeant's Snippets

It is great to see more members attending meetings on a regular basis despite unexpected lockdowns and other  disruptions. We do understand that members have to feel Covid safe in regard to their own health.

Thank you to members like Peter Downtown who willingly step into duty gaps when asked.

It was heartening to share the laughter together last Thursday evening. In my experience it is not uncommon for visitors to comment on the club's camaraderie.
