President’s Remarks
The President’s Evening at the Lawton Memorial Hall proved again to be a successful event and was enjoyed by all who were able to attend. Father Michael Burgess gave an amusing and entertaining after dinner talk. A number of our members and partners then quickly packed their bags for a short sunshine holiday in the Isle of Wight where despite the warm weather coughs and colds came home with them.
The outing to Melton Mowbray and Rutland Water proved to be another different and entertaining trip with fine sunny weather and we thank Peter for all his arrangements.
Peter Smith’s health has deteriorated over the past few months and sadly he passed away on Friday 13 June. Our thoughts and prayers are with Daryl and her family in this sad time of bereavement.
Likewise we think of all those members who are unable to attend our meetings and outings due to failing health issues.
This is my last President’s report and I would like to thank the Council and all the members for supporting me and making my year a memorable one. L look forward to handing over the chain of office to Graham Tunnicliff and wish him a happy and enjoyable year
