Rotary Club Lunch Meeting

Fri, Sep 3rd 2021 at 12:45 pm - 2:30 pm

After a break of nearly eighteen months, we resumed our face to face meetings today. As John Gillespie was unable to celebrate his 100th birthday last year as planned, we gave him a surprise party.


Our esteemed member, John Gillespie OBE, reached his hundredth birthay last year but was unable to celebrate it in the way he had planned. As this was the first opportunity, a party was arranged at the Holiday Inn today. There were ten Club members present and eleven guests, including John's son and his wife and his two daughters and their husbands.
