The Club meeting on Wednesday 14th had been cancelled due to a national holiday and the Dewali celebrations.  President Sujata wished all members a very Happy New Year and hoped that they had enjoyed the celebrations.  The fellowship in this meeting was extremely jovial and relaxed.

There was however a tinge of sadness as Hugh Frazer formally announced his resignation from his post here in Tanzania and his position as Vice President.  He will be relocating to Sierra Leone.  There was optimism though when he informed the meeting that there was a good chance that he would return.  He promised to visit the Club whenever he was in Dar and had the opportunity to do so.
