During the month we were saddened by the passing of two of our esteemed members, Betty Baker and Norah Dale.  We will certainly miss both of them.  Betty was always the party girl while Norah the quiet achiever.  Much loved by all who knew them.

AND JUST FOR A LAUGH …

 When I was young we used to go “skinny dipping” now I just “chunky dunk”.

I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

To any of our members or their families who are not feeling well we wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back at the Club soon.

Thanks to Ann Kirk for this report
