Lord make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may seek
not so I much to be consoled as to console; To be
understood as to understand; to be loved as to
love; for it is in giving that we receive; and it is
in pardoning that we are pardoned
it is in dying ... that we are born to eternal life. Amen
Hello Ramblers
We would like to welcome everyone who has joined us this year. and hope that you will all introduce new members.
Ten of us are about to start on the Glastonbury Pilgrimage. via The Isle of Wight,. where more club members had such a wonderful holiday at Freshwater Bay earlier in the year.
Anna Caruanar Dorothy Hickmanr Ron Scott & Co are going to Malta in September and we all hope they enjoy themselves tremendously.
In the meantime, we are preparing some innovative ideas for the next AGM*, including the election of our new President and Vice President. We are fortunate in that Reverend Father Fergus Kelly, who led our Day of Recollection in June, is a keen rambler, very interested in the club, and has agreed to become our President.
For the Vice Presidency we have a choice:
Paul Brunning Nominated by Richard Chill
Mary Hickman Nominated by Tom Lally
Tom Lally Nominated by Fred McAndrew
For Honorary Treasurer we have:
Peter Lobo
Nominated by Ron Scott
Ramblers, you know how vital it is to have an exchange of different views and plan for running our club, and it would be lovely to have some new people on the committee, who would have the full support of former committee members in carrying out a new range of duties such as compiling the lists, arranging social events and developing publicity so please give it a whirl.
Our resourceful Peter Lobo and Paul Brunning invite you to join them in discovering new venues for dining-out on the third Friday of every month. Meet at Leicester Square Tube booking office 18:15 - 18:30 and take it from there.
Fred McAndrew, who is taking us to Taize next Easter, introduced some of us to the recent service of prayers, chants and music, led by The Bishop of Croydon and our own Bishop Tripp of the Archdiocese of Southwark. It will be broadcast on 22 September by the BBC World Service. For Taize information contact" Fred. We're going for a week starting on Easter Sunday 1992, end the costs are: £3 per day for under 26 in tents (Very basic) - £10 - £12 per day for over 26 in dormitories, and some rooms for over 50s. All meals are included. Travel is about £85. More details in the next list.
Which reminds me, that we are thinking of raising the annual subscription to £5 for the year 1991/92. We'll talk about it at the AGM*.

members when we come to our AGM in October to elect our
completely new committee and plan for an adventurous year ahead.
As we pray for them let us also ask them to continue a tradition
of good fellowship and fun.

to offer and with your help we will attract many new members and

* Footnote added to the website copy of this programme in September 2017: In the event the AGM in 1991, which was chaired by the late John Lawrence, elected an entirely new committee, elected Paul Brunning as vice president but Fred McAndrew agreed to be named as life vice president, but did not agree an increase in the annual subscription. The Chairman, who had also audited the books that year, said that as the club finances were healthy there was no need at that time to increase the membership subscription. The idea of inviting Fr Kelly to be the president of the club was not pursued. At that time there had not been regular contact with St Mary Moorfields but that was put tp rights in 1995 when Frr David Barnes, then Parish Priest at St Mary Moorfields resumed the traditional position of being Club President ex officio. He attended AGMs, led a day of recollection at the Grail and warmly welcomed club members to the annual Mass in October. The active participation of the President continued with Fr (now Canon) Peter Newby who led two days of recollection and was our brilliant guide for the 75th anniversary pilgrimage to Assisi. Fr Chris has now been President for over a year and has also been active and welcoming to members of the club.
