In past years Canon Christopher Smith has been the Master of Ceremonies and played a key part in running the event. He ia a dear friend I have known from when we were both 8 years old and he knew Ruth and Cecil well. Owing to serious illness he was unable to attend this year. All involved this year extend him their thoughts and best wishes.
I was very grateful to Arlana, Jayne & Mel from the golf club for running the golf competition and organising the raffle, auction, and buffet - along with all the other Clubhouse staff. Also, of course, my thanks to Stuart, Sam and all the Greens staff for ensuring such excellent course playing conditions on the day!
Thank you everyone!
