I was invited with Edwina Cooper, my Mayoress, to the 37th Charter Anniversary Dinner of the Lions of Newbury at Donnington Valley Golf Club. This was a black tie dinner and dance and we were met by the current president, Jon Davies and his wife. I did know a number of the Lions so we were able to see some familiar faces. The dinner and wine were excellent and at the conclusion of the after dinner speeches, I was invited to say a few words. I thanked them for inviting Edwina and myself and complemented them on the organisation of the evening and their kind hospitality. I commended them all for the work they do for the community and said that the town was proud of them and their achievements.
Afterwards, the disco began and soon the dance floor was full of whirling bodies. It was non-stop dancing almost, and I have to admit that I was ready for home at around midnight. It was a memorable evening and we were very grateful for their hospitality.
