Ralph Butcher, his daughters, Susan and Jenny and their husbands were guests of honour at our Annual Candlelight Dinner. 116 members and their wives and partners attended this special occasion.
The highlight of the evening was a “chat” between President Roger Wilson and Ralph which was both emotional and amusing. There was a slide show of Ralph’s life, decorations, prizes and of course a magnificent cake. Noel Ineson amused us with some of his jokes as well.
Ralph’s favourite music – Vera Lynn, added a touch of nostalgia and to finish the evening we all lustily joined in singing “We’ll meet again” We all felt it was a privilege to be present at this wonderful occasion.
