Randle is our oldest member, having joined the club in 1962. To celebrate his 90th birthday, we had gathered information and photographs about his very eventful life.

John Lipscombe had prepared a 'This is Your Life' presentation, which he gave to an audience of over 40 members and guest, including Randle's wife Ethel and his sons and brother. We had invited our wives and other guests.

The event was a complete surprise to Randle, who was very moved by the occasion. Everyone present enjoyed reviewing some past Rotary events and the celebratory drink that Randle had provided.

At the end of the meeting DG Jean Thompson presented President John with a club citation for the year.
