Hello All
At this Tuesdays meeting most members enjoyed a good meal and fellowship at Cattleya Thai. There were no formal proceedings for the evening with a very relaxed atmosphere and lots to chat about. Apologies from Jim Hanrahan, Keith McLeod, George McLeod, Brooke Jensen, David Brown. We have several members on leave
including John Hunt, Leon (the golfer) de Villiers, Brian Trenery and Greg Lee.
