Presidents Night

Newforge Country Club was the venue for President David’s Presidents Night. Members and Guests were entertained by the Campanilla Quartet during a drinks reception and during an excellent Dinner.VP Sam then gave the club a review of the years activities and congratulated President David on a successful year.

President David then asked the proposers of the three new Paul Harris Fellows to say in a few words the reasons for proposing each  recipient.

PP Ivan Connor proposed PP John McDonough, Robin Holliday proposed PP Sandra McCabe and PP Trevor Stewart proposed Patrick Coyle. Trevor also made a special presentation to Patrick of a bike in recognition of all the fund raising he had done for Jole Rider

Following the awards we were entertained by Swing Dancers Adam and Anna. Joe Deery who had visited the Club earlier in the year to give us a talk on guide Dogs for the blind had informed VP Sam that he was a singer. Accompanied by Gary Corkin on keyboards he amazed us all with his beautiful voice . He then took over the keyboards to sing ‘Bless This House’

It was a memorable evening for all who attended and those who made it back to Dale and Carolyns for a night cap had a good nights sleep
