Grace given by Andrew M followed by breakfast. Our delightful waitress,
resplendent in his pinny ensured Orange juice glasses were topped up and plates
and bowls collected.
Kathy praised Jude, and the club applauded his speaking skills, and the activity he
had us doing.
Kathy will be off to Italy after next week’s meeting. Kevin went off early this morning
hopefully with passport, laptop and phone!
Quiz 11/04

- Godfrey will be at the hall from 6pm and welcomes some members to put out the
tables and chairs. Also after the event please help tidy the hall.
TWAM 18/04
- The two Andrews are off to collect ‘stuff’ today, another load was collected earlier
in the week so Andrew M’s garage is filling up.

18th, however fewer are needed. This will be sorted at next week’s meeting.

Raffle was won by Maureen, a box of Roses.
Bertie Bassett’s Master at Arms
- Bells, shorts, not attending the quiz and Rotary badges all attracted fines. Kathy
fined herself as she left her handbag at the pub after last weeks meeting! It meant
a return journey and a wasted hour! Spyros fined Fiona for another mistake in the
notes of the meeting. NB these are intentional just to see who reads them
- Godfrey then regaled us with a tale about a faith healer’s failure! Apparently the
story is true and over 60 years old.
Final toast given by Pippa.
Next meeting 16/04 7.30 for 8am breakfast, at the monument.
