Speaker:
Mr. Barrie Galley – Water Aid. Unfortunately, Mr. Galley’s car broke down and he was unable to inform the meeting or attend the hall. In his absence, Dot Dunning brilliantly suggested that the Members form small groups and compose amusing limericks. This caused much entertainment and several of the limericks were later inserted on our Web page by Alison. Harry Barnett won a small prize for most popular limerick.
