Last week we enjoyed a fabulous 75th anniversary celebration dinner at the Ommaroo Hotel, which is where our Club was first awarded our Charter on 9th December 1950. Thank you to Gillie O’Rourke, SIGBI President and Thomas Harris, Chair of Jersey round Table for joining us. The majority of our members were able to attend, ranging in service from an astounding 58 years to a few weeks. With may thanks for Gillie O’Rourke’s kind words recognising all of our amazing Past Presidents and members past and present, who have shaped the Club through their leadership and inspiration to make it the special Club it is today, with members ageing from their 20s to their 90s!<\/p>\n

We welcome new members, come and join us to see what we can achieve over our next decade.<\/p>\n
