1973-2023 - 50 Glorious years
A seriously special Gala Celebration of
50 wonderful years.
We reconnected with old friends, enjoyed some celebratory bubbles, heard some lovely reflections, and a great keynote speech from Nick Leggett, ate a tasty dinner, enjoyed the company of our Rotary Friendship Exchange visitors from Wisconsin and were delighted to witness the awarding of three well-deserved Paul Harris Fellowships to Nick Leggett, Barbara Nichols and Phillip Reidy.
There will be much more detail to report next week by which time we will hopefully have very many memorable photos to look at in the Gallery. In the meantime, here are just a few important photos from this very special evening.

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.
