DIAMOND JUBILEE
Bridie Barry writes : "Our Club will be 60 years old in October 1990. Naturally we cannot let this great occasion go by unnoticed and now is the time to start planning a fitting celebration. Do you have any ideas? Or maybe you are a born caterer who has yet to find a suitable opening. This could be your chance to shine! The Committee would be delighted to receive any suggestions or offers of help in writing. We will need to be in a position to make some firm decisions at our AGM in October and, for one thing, accommodation has to be booked many months in advance. Please do not be shy. Remember from little acorns great trees grow !
A few words from Paul .....A big thank you to all the Committee and also
to Maurice for organising the Hostel weekends.
