What’s On

Message from the Chairman

.

Well friends, it has been thirteen months since we held our last Branch meeting in March last year.  I remember at the time calling it the COVID meeting; how true that turned out to be.

Now most of us have had our first jabs, and some their second, there is some degree of hope that life could return to some semblance of normality – whatever the new normal proves to be.

In the first instance, when we are allowed, the Committee will be called together to discuss our future as a Branch and our obligations as a small charity.  At that time, and I am being optimistic, we would hope to be in a position to reintroduce our regular Branch meetings and, of course, our long overdue AGM.  Obviously, the reopening of Whitchurch RBL will be a major factor in any future planning.

The Dock Cottage has had regular visits from Gayner, Ted and other members of the Committee to make sure all is in order.  I know that members love to come to the cottage for informal get togethers, especially for the coffee mornings, so as soon as the rules allow we will hold them again.

The loss of Philip has been a cruel blow to us all but, I am sure if there is a supreme entity, Philip’s presence will not desert us.  He was truly a man for all seasons.

We will watch closely the progress of recovery promised by the vaccines roll out but, in the meantime, please continue to follow the basic safety rules and stay in touch with your fellow members.

Until we meet again.

Kind regards to you all

Doug May.
