On November 20th members of the Region met face to face for the Region change of Insignia. This was an excellent day at the Queens Hotel, who did us proud with a fabulous Christmas lunch.

The Region has been able to hold many centenary events and challenges throughout the year, and President Louise has been present and at the helm leading each event.
