The atrmosphere at Santo's was very friendly and there was a great buzz about the place as everyone gathered. An excellent meal was served and no-one seemed to complain about a slight delay in serving the sweet course - everyone must have been enjoying themselves.
Just a mention of how great it was to see Past Presidents Kevin Doyle and Stuart Rice at the charter enjoying themselves, as they both recover from major illnesses.
Never being one to follow other people, Rtn Owen, acting as Master of Ceremonies did the evening "his" way, causing one or two laughs along the way. With the usual toasts etc completed fairly quickly we were soon onto the evening's entertainment, which was a folk duet, called, "Doublecross". Incidentally I must make mention of the toast given to Rotary International by President Elect Paul Rose, who asked us all to imaging being on a sunkissed beach and then went on to give a unique slant on the toast to Rotary International. (I am not going to tell you what it was - you should have been there !)
