CLUB CELEBRATES ITS FIRST 25 YEARS
History was also made recently when the club celebrated its first 25 years.
A luncheon was held on Saturday, August 27 2005.
Attendees included many of the Club's Foundation members, RVBA President Ian Dewar, Nancy Weber representing the VLBA President, Tina Bishop, wife and representative of Mayor David Hodgett, Local MP Dympna Beard as well as many of our current members.
A PowerPoint presentation of the Club's early history took everyone back through time to the present day and brought back many memories through the many photos shown.
Congratulatory Certificates were presented to Foundation members.
It seemed a pity that the birthday cake, beautifully prepared by Pat Welch needed to be cut but Enid Hughes and Andy Bell executed it with perfection.
Suitable speeches were the order of the day followed by acknowledgments to all concerned.
