Events in 2024

Post Christmas event 7th January

Some 19 people took part in an afternoon tea at the home of Philip Mole.  It was a pleasant social occasion - a chance to catch up with friends and enjoy a sing-song.

Events in 2023

 

AGM 27th October

This was attended by 24 people, including the Mayor, Councillor Margaret Wilkinson and her Consort, Amani Habaibeh.  At the business meeting the accounts were presented, showing that the Club had a very healthy bank balance, and those members of the Committee who needed to stand for re-election were duly re-elected.  Although under the terms of the Constitution, the Chairman Philip Mole had already served two more years than stipulated, in the absence of any other candidates and in the interests of the Club's continuing existence, he was also re-elected. After the business meeting members enjoyed a hot two course meal prepared by our loyal caterer, Sarah Shapeero Lown.

 

Afternoon tea at Petals cafe in Dersingham

Eleven people enjoyed an excellent afternoon tea at the Petals tearoom in Dersingham on Sunday 16th April.  It was particularly good to see former members Ernie and Anne Foreman, and Helen Cummins who had made the effort to come from Norwich with a friend.

 

Visit to Emmerich

A group of 14 people visited Emmerich over the weekend 20th to 23rd May this year and were treated to an excellent brunch in a floating restaurant on the Sunday, followed for some by a ride through the countryside in a covered wagon drawn by a tractor, with the travellers being plied by as much drink as they wished.  Halfway round there was a stop at a sumptuous ice cream parlour, with a mini adventure on the return journey when the farm track we were on was blocked and our driver had to make a multi-point turn to enable us to continue.  All in all a successful trip with old acquaintances renewed and new ones forged.  We are now looking forward to receiving guests from Emmerich next year.

 

Barbecue

Some 20 people enjoyed a barcecue in the garden of Penny and Jonathan Dossetor on the afternoon of August 12th.  With many people bringing contributions by way of salads and desserts, there was plenty of delicious food to go round.  It was a convivial gathering and good to see so many old friends.  Given the weather during August it was a risky decision to go ahead, but fortune favours the brave and we were able to eat in sunshine.  However, as the last guest departed the heavens opened and there was a very heavy downpour.  Almost everyone got away with it, but poor Gloria Pantling was not so lucky, as she was still loading up her car when the rain began and by the time she reached her own front door she was soaked to the skin!
