The Buffet meal was well received by members and provided great variety catering for a wide variety of\u00a0tastes. The rooms were well laid out enabling members to move around relatively easily and say Hello to everyone present.<\/p>\n
There was probably 40 years difference between the youngest member and the most senior generating a wealth of stories both factual and exaggerated as happens after many years and a few beers.<\/p>\n
From what I could see a great time was had by all.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to the committee for a job well done. Events like this don’t just happen. They require a lot or planning and organisation by a dedicated few.<\/p>\n
Special thanks to Kevin O’Brien, David Richardson and Robin Tuckfield for their work in collecting the money at the door. Nobody escaped!![\"Kevin](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.otva.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Kevin-OBrien-David-Richardson-and-Robin-Tuckfield-Money-Collectors.jpg?resize=720%2C540\")
