A hearty welcome to our June meeting. As a teenager I was distressed to hear of the success of the Dutch fleet in 1667. Following the seizure of Sheerness, they attacked Chatham. Hopefully today's speaker will explain how it happened, what happened afterwards and how we recovered. (Of course we did get a Dutch king in 1688).
Following our May lunch I have pleasure in welcoming Maurice Tilley as our Vice-Chairman. I know that should I be unable to attend the club will be in safe hands. We also have a vacancy on the committee, volunteers are invited to form a queue at our Secretary's desk
I had a prior engagement so I was unable to join the visit to “The Great Gatsby” but I understand that the 12 members who went thoroughly enjoyed the show. Please speak to a committee member if you think we should continue to organise theatre visits.
Whether you have already holidayed or are still looking forward to a break, may I hope that you enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable summer. As always, gardeners and farmers wish for more sun/rain moderate/high/low temperatures, in the UK we have weather not a climate. As I learned in primary school, we must weather the weather whatever the weather whether we like it or not.
The Wilmington Fete on August 25th. is one of our major sources of funds for our charities, however we need members to staff the stall. My thanks to those of you who have already volunteered. Could I ask you to consider supporting the Club by giving some time on the day to manning the pitch. On the basis of many hands and light work perhaps we could divide the load between setting up, hourly slots, and putting away. I will have a board available for volunteers at our next meeting.
