The WC Bro Gordon Glover opened the lodge and welcomed the representative RW PGM and wished him and all present an enjoyable evening. The number present in the lodge had been condensed a little due to some members being on a trip to Bournemouth and a couple of members unable to attend due to sickness. Never the less the WC set on us on a good course and with ADC Len Hart taking the helm it was plain sailing, until it came to me, and the address to the newly installed WC Malcolm Parr, the tide had turned quickly, my voice creaked and crocked quite a lot which was the start of a nasty cold and 3 days in bed!! |
