Please bring your own drink, and drinking vessel. Please dress up warm and bring appropriate farm type footwear!

* Andy Moran, who runs the Peasholm Dental Practice has asked if he might join 41 Club.

Andy is currently an honorary member of Round Table 88, having been a member for over 20 years.

I for one believe him to be a worthy candidate and deserves a rest in 41 Club.

If I do not receive any objections be the end of March, I intend to invite Andy to our AGM for him to be inducted

* Pete Moss, who was a member of Scarborough 41 Club (having been a member of Round Table 1188) has asked if he may re-join (41 Club that is), as he has seen the error of his ways!

If I do not receive any objections be the end of March, I intend to invite Pete to our AGM for him to be re-inducted.

Regarding our members Directory. Those of you who attended the December meeting at Jeremy’s were given an up to date Directory. I was intending to send out the rest in the post but “I forgot”. So we will now send out to all those members who did not attend Jeremy’s.
As for the idea that we combine our Directory with that of Round Table, I believe we should discuss this at the next appropriate meeting as:
1. Some members might not want their personal details being circulated to members of the Round Table.
2. The Round Table list virtually every meeting venue and activity in their Directory for the year. Whereas we normally don’t know where we are more than a couple of meetings ahead. (No disrespect meant Simon).

For your information the money Round Table Sleigh collected in December plus some of the monies not distributed from the previous year needs to find worthy causes to spend it on. They are looking largely to help children and young people from a few pounds to a few hundred pounds. So if any member knows of a worthy cause (not for example, free drinks for all members at the next meeting!). Could they let me know or alternatively log onto Yorkshire Coast Radio’s website and register your suggestion there.

Mike, still your secretary, Shingler.

The next meeting is at Jeremys on the 13th February, 7.30 start. This is expected to be a great evening as we are having a 4 course gourmet menu with a different wine at each course, with a ‘wine man’ taking us through the wines. We need to be as accurate as possible with numbers so please can members

a) Make sure they apologise where appropriate

b) If they do apologise, then find they can make it, to let me know asap

The meeting after that is at The Mayfield Hotel at Seamer on the 13th March, 7.30 start. The hotel has just undergone substantial refurbishment and, with the kind help of Maurice Finnegan, we have been able to organise an excellent 3 course meal. Robin Lidster, the railway man, is giving an illustrated talk. As we haven’t been ‘darn sowth’ for some time and it’s a new venue, we hope that members will give the evening their full support.

Cheers,

Simon
