Annual Dinner
The Club's Dinner for 2007 was held at Calcot Park Golf Club. After a convivial get-together in the bar those present enjoyed an excellent dinner which was followed by 16 hands of bridge played as an individual competition with partners changed each 4 hands. The lucky winners departed happily with their bottles of wine. Hopefully everyone present enjoyed their evening and met at least one member of the club they had not met before.

has been parking in the entrance to the Register Office, although this
may not be by members. |
