We were delighted that our Lifetime President  Bill Howarth was able to join us this morning for coffee. Bill celebrates his 90th on the 21st Feb and was given a card, signed by many members, plus Garden Centre gift vouchers. He plans to spend these on Box Bay for his lovely garden. (Unfortunately the garden centre didn’t have any decent ones in when visited and hence the Chair followed Bills’ sons’ advice to buy gift vouchers so decent ones could be ordered in.)
