Our Area Representative Gordon Strudwick reported that the Branch had been represented at all Area Meetings last year and thanked John Lennon and Roger Grace for standing in when he was not available. He reported that a number of branches within Area 4 had closed, mainly due to falling numbers and advancing years.
The Dunn Trophy was presented to Warwick Bellfitt for all his hard work in keeping the Branch running smoothly.
