Please note that the Secretary's address printed at the top of the December/February list contained an error. The street number is 12 and not 17 as appeared on the last list. Some mail has been redirected but at least
two letters are known to have gone astray. If anyone has written to No 17 and wishes to know if their letter ever arrived, please contact Anne Walsh.
We are sad to announce the death of Kathleen Vile, an honorary member on 5 January. She was unable to ramble, having been a spina bifida sufferer, but enjoyed some of the social functions. MASS will be offered for the repose of her soul on TUESDAY 8 APRIL 1980 in St Joseph's Bunhill Row at 7 00 pm.
There will also be MASS on TUESDAY 11 MARCH 1980 in St Joseph's at 7 00 pm for Jean Horan's Father. Fr Higgs said a Mass .in November, but this was not organised by the Club, although some members attended.
We welcome the following new members into our ranks and hope to see them joining in many of our activities:-
Mary Timmins, Nellie Lennon, Bernard Pellegrinetti and Tom Berrie.
As you will see from the list heading, there has been a change round in duties for the current list. Richard Walton will be in charge of social events and Frank Keating will be concerned only with other duties.
There are still a number of sUbscriptions outstanding. No further lists will be sentto those whose subscriptions remain unpaid by the end of this list. This item appliesto you in particular if it has been underlined with red ink.
