Month: December 2023

The Mill House hotel at Risley was once again the venue for the annual Christmas lunch. A combination of members, wives, families and friends, totalling thirty-six in all, enjoyed a splendid lunch in delightful surroundings, with good food and great company.

Hosted by President Dr Jeff Grover and his lady, Mary, the arrangements this year were the responsibility of our immediate past president and expert lunch steward, Alex Marianos, who was no doubt ably supported by his good lady wife, Sarah. This meant that everyone had the food of their choice and went away suitably replete with each couple taking home a Christmas gift.

The report on the presentation by our member David Styles accompanied by his partner Jenny Barton about David’s recollections of being a schoolboy in WW2 were well covered in the local magazines.

The CommunityAd publishers are starting to have a monthly edition for Overton, Oakley & Kempshott and once again gave us a double page spread. They have now requested that they receive a report each month which is good news as we have never previously had any sort of publicity in Overton.

The Loddon Valley Link, as usual gave us a miss and the Kempshott Kourier has yet to provide the files to the printer for their December edition as at Monday 11 December.
