We are saddened by the news that two members have passed away; J.P. Taylor (member for 13 years) and J.A. Andrew who joined in 1992. Ours thoughts are with their families.
- On the night of the Christmas Draw, a week on Saturday, swaps will be allowed for those present. Please submit your names as many times as you like @ £5 a time and remember you name, or multiples of it, will remain in the hat for the entire draw, permitting several wins!
- We are indebted to Brian and Robert Tuach, Glen Ford, Mark Popham and Keith Dolby for putting in such a tremendous effort into refurbishing the snooker room. It looks absolutely magnificent. The A team has responded with an impressive run of results, no doubt due to the new surroundings: 4-1, 4-1, 4-1, 4-1 and 5-0. $ players have reached the 3rd round of the knockout and Rick Morrison holds the highest break in the division so far.
- Thank you very much to all those who have renewed already for 2016 and for the
entries into the Christmas Draw. The business ads and items for sale will begin in January; please get those in in time. If you need a reminder of what’s involved just reply to this email.
- You won’t want to be hearing about our brilliant private tour in India recently but if anyone is interested in having a driver for the duration, as we did, we can thoroughly recommend it and have further details available on request.

~ Jean Rostand Kill one man and you’re a murderer, kill a million and you’re a conqueror
This week’s offering:
A new vicar was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.
Therefore, he took out his business card and wrote ‘Revelation 3:20’ on the back of it and stuck it through the letter box.
When the offerings were processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned and added to it was this cryptic message, “Genesis 3:10.”
He broke up in gales of laughter.
Revelation 3:20 begins – ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.. .’
Genesis 3:10 reads, – ‘I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked’
Kind regards
Ted
