Thursday 17th January - Buffet & Entertainment

Our first meeting of the year was our annual party attended by a full house of 60 of our members.

Once again the food was organised by the committee under the leadership of Pat Clarke. A buffet consisting of a wide variety of savouries and mouth watering puddings was provided complemented by a selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic for those having to take the wheel.

Following the meal Barry Leggett took over as master of ceremonies and introduced Ken Tickle who entertained us with a selection of folk songs, accompanying himself at times on his accordion. The audience, who had been issued with song sheets, were able to join in the choruses. After a short interval, during which the raffle was drawn and the answers to the table top quiz were revealed, Ken continued with his singing and playing to bring the evening to it’s conclusion.

Our thanks to all members who supplied prizes for the raffle and to all those, too numerous to mention by name, who worked hard in advance and on the night itself to make the evening a great success.

Our next meeting is on Thursday 20th. March when Dr. Ian Clarke will give a talk “Trekking in the Himalayas - Part 2”.
