Keith has "Right Royal" Garden Party
24th June2001
   

The Rotary Rear Enders pose,or otherwise, for the club photographer at outgoing President Keith Thompson's garden party last Sunday, 24th June 2001 (Keith is the purple one on the right). Incoming President Ian Featherstone has spotted the creeping clicker and will no doubt call him to account later.
  The tall and the short of it - Monty and Fred - discussing the merits of swinging over the stream which meanders through Keith's garden. They wisely chose another foray into the buffet. Sensible chaps!  
  Charles and Paul, well fed and obviously at the giggly stage as befits the younger members. Amused the even younger President Elect Ian.
 


Helen, ever the diplomat, smiles sweetly - at someone's witticism? If so, Margaret has obviously heard it before.

In a more serene part of the tent - sorry, marquee - Derek is looking amused at one of his own jokes whilst Ray looks rather pained. Hilda maintains a dignified if enigmatic pose.

Out in the brilliant warm sunshine, this innocent looking circle of ladies are having a grand time. Wouldn't mind eavesdropping on Molly, Margaret, Heather, Madge and Joan. On second thoughts -'what ye don't know won't hurt ye!'.

 
How can anyone with Geoffrey's reputation as a wine buff, look so languid with a glass of the red stuff within his grasp? Perhaps Doreen has that kind of calming influence.
 
Robert, even more of a bottle expert than you know who, in his usual mode as spreader of hearty (oh dear! - ever so hearty/is it nearly time for home) good cheer. Mary, the thinking man's bit of watercolour crumpet, accepts with good grace, whilst Rita, an idiot's idea of a good buttered scone, has her tigers' smile on. Keith keeps a watching 'what's all this 'ere then' brief.
