President Edwards special evening went with a swing. The sun was shining through the windows the whole evening and having all started with champagne we went into the lovely dining room of the Beaulieu Hotel. The room was a picture with tables decorated with floral displays in Rotary colours, made by Bridget and June, all the ladies in their glamourous outfits and lots of penguins. We had a very convivial meal with excellent service from the hotel staff. (Nice change from queueing for our usual buffet). The table decorations were given as prizes via tickets pinned under the dining chairs.
A witty speech from Edward rounded off the event; Judy repleid on behalf of the guests and thanked Annette for all her hard work over the year, and presenting her with a beautiful bouquet.
Well done Edward for a successful year.
