Lindsay Dry gave a lovely toast to the Club. Graeme Sansom thanked our guest speaker. John Martin was the only foundation member present, and he brought as his guests his wife Cherry and Elizabeth Barnes, aka Lizzi Bee, our flower sponsor, whose father Keith had been a member of Dalkeith.

GUEST SPEAKER:
Brigadier Brett Chaloner was our very special guest speaker. He mightn’t have recruited many, but the message of the good works and service of the Army in Western Australia will be spread. His speech was thought-provoking, but hopeful and inspiring. 
 
Also, a photo of Dalkeith members laying the wreath from the Club last week.
