Club Lunch to Celebrate our Golden Jubilee
20th June 2002

  We met at lunchtime on the 20th June 2002. Almost exactly 50 years on from the original inaugural lunch, the occasion was well supported by our members and those from other clubs and our own past members.

 
Time for a chat with old friends before the meal.  
After an excellent introduction by President Ian, three of our Past Presidents spoke in turn covering 50 years of memories. Rtn Philip Gaunt recalled the 50s and 60s, then Rtn Bill Powell remembered the 90s and finally Rtn Geoff Barton filled in the gaps with echoes of the 70s and 80s. All this time travel in fifteen minutes. And so with a few words from Assistant District Governor Bernard Burke it was time to make our farewells....
