Margaret and her husband Desmond, as guests of the Club, joined Members for the very popular Limerick Supper, when Margaret was presented with a cheque representing the extremely generous donations received from Members plus a fabulous bouquet of flowers from the Commodore and his wife. Entirely in the spirit of the evening, both Margaret and Desmond read out their own Limericks and a thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by all.

In April, Margaret will be flying to Kathmandu as the first stop of her walking holiday in the foothills of the Himalayas; we have been quite concerned that her lunchtime reading recently has been The Assent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hilary!

To mark Margaret’s last day in the office after 9 years dedicated to Club Members as Assistant Secretary, a small lunch party was held for her, attended by colleagues from both the office and catering sections of the Club. Margaret will be greatly missed by Members and staff alike.

Margaret’s Limerick (which in consideration of the above is entirely appropriate):-

There was a young man from Peru

Who thought he’d set sail in a shoe

With sheets of brown laces

For ballast; suit cases

And a cobbler, of course, for the crew!
