FROM OUR MEETING 11 APRIL 2023
Scribe: Neil Jones
Nine dedicated members and Christine Jones assembled at the Mermaid Waters Hotel Bistro to enjoy fellowship and dinner with our Assistant Governor Sheila Ponting.
After three years Sheila's term as Assistant Governor will end on 30 June so this was her last visit to our club in that role.
After solving all the major issues of the day and discussing many a trivial matter the gathering broke up just before 8.00 pm.
The week in Pictures
No photos available this week - "someone" was so engaged in all the discussion that he omitted to take any!!!!

I didn't think wearing orthopedic shoes would help me, but I stand corrected.
