A BBQ in Grange
On Sunday June 29, 2008 a group of Rotarians and partners joined Malcolm and Margaret MacFarlane for a barbeque, preceded by drinks and nibbles at the home of David and Mary Hawkes. David has now transferred to Grange Rotary Club and Mary will be missed by the Thursday lunchtime Sally Ladies club. During the afternoon we were blessed with fine sunny weather and we also had the chance to thank President Mike Hynes for his almost completed year as President. The (now) President Joe Stephenson thanked Mike and Margaret for all their enthusiasm and support for the Club's activities during the year and presented Margaret with a bouquet of flowers and Mike with a bucket to keep them in!
Thanks to Malcolm for his sterling work at the BBQ and Margaret, David and Mary for all their preparations for the afternoon - I am sure that all who attended thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
