MEETING MINUTES PRE 2024

NOVEMBER MEETING - Learn to be a magician, in one easy trick!

Held at OLIVERS in Rochester and organised by Nick and Wayne, great concept, great meeting, really, really funny. Private room in Oliver's with a very nice dinner. The members were introduced to Joe, our resident magician for the evening, who performed a few warm up tricks and then we were split into four teams and each team was taken outside and taught one magic trick.

OCTOBER MINUTES - The Rose & Crown, Hartlip

A pub meeting organised by Gary, who has got the logic of a pub meeting down to a fine art. Hold it just down the road from his house. Again. Great evening!

JULY - DINNER AT THE WINDMILL PUB: After stormy weather stopped us petting Owls and Eagles. This was Tony's Entertainment evening and he had a great programme for us to pet birds of prey at a wildlife centre. Sadly the extreme heat put the kibosh, apparently the birds don't do sunbat

APRIL, MAY, JUNE GASS MEETINGS

A real trio of activity meetings. Bugger off anyone who says GASS is getting boring (Graham). Multi sport at Diggerland and Burlesque, massive ZIPWIRE, and AXE throwing...... I mean that is really good, for £40 each! APRIL - DIGGERLAND for a multi-sports evening with electric quad bikes as the star of the show. Hugh laid on a proper challenge for the bike riders. Brand new electric quads which were as frisky as a young unbroken colt. Literally hair trigger reactions, th
