A Fresh Hand at the HELM
This meeting was the AGM and the last one for DR John Bryden, the retiring Chairman.
JOHN welcomed Alastair Heath to his first meeting when 33 members were present. Members
held a minute's silence because we had just heard of the sudden death of one of the club's
founder members Dr Kenneth Lee.
We all enjoyed a luncheon of Grilled Pork Chop with Honey and Mustard Sauce followed by a
sinful Sticky Toffee Pudding. In John's closing words he thanked all the Officers for
their great support during the year which had made his Chairmanship most enjoyable. He
then handed over the chain of office to the current Vice Chairman, Rohan Fennell.
Len Turner, our joint Treasurer, will give a talk at next month's meeting on Thursday
19th April entitled, It's a Funny Old World''. Have you considered joining our club? We
have members who come from Mundesley and Hindringham but most members come from the Holt.
Sheringham and Cromer area.
We meet on the third Thursday of each month at the Pheasant Hotel in Kelling. We gather
at 12:30 for a drink and then have lunch at 1:00 pm. This is followed by a talk from an
interesting speaker for 20 minutes or so and we break about 2:45ish. Members are male and
have usually reached the age of 55 or so.
Our sole aim is ''Friendship'' hence it is a very friendly and chatty Club. We have a
Christmas Luncheon to which we invite our ladies, we also have three or four outings
during the year where wives and friends are invited. To find out further details, do give
Terry Penrose a ring on 01263 588772. With many thanks and best wishes, Philip Hutchinson.

Tesco store to play a really positive role in the life of Sheringham and the next step in
this is to discuss the emerging plans with everyone that has an interest. I am looking
