Ken Batstone, who we thank for organising the event, reports….
    On Wednesday June 10th the annual Summer barbecue was held at the YMCA Hawker Centre, our old Sports and Social Club. Photos

The weather was kind inasmuch as it didn't rain, but the sun hid behind cloud for most of the afternoon, although the temperature was high enough to allow everybody to sit outside on the patio.

    The number of members and guests attending at 27 was slightly disappointing compared to last year's 34. However, the hamburgers, sausages and chicken were as good as ever and the two dessert gateaux, chocolate sponge and carrot and cream cake, were delicious.

The pleasure of the event, besides the food, is the opportunity to meet and socialise with old friends in a relaxed atmosphere with more time available than at the monthly meetings. Everybody enjoyed reminiscing about the good times we all shared at Kingston and catching up on news.

The afternoon was rounded off with the traditional splendid raffle (slight exaggeration) and everybody left sated and happy (particularly the raffle prize winners) by about 3.30pm thus avoiding the "school’s out" rush.
