John Wood informed the President and members that the manager of the Railway could be leaving during the next two months but he would keep us in the picture regarding developments as and when he could.

Ballot for Dr McQuillan was favourable and Simon Rogerson was asked to bring him along to the February meeting. He was also advised that as Dr McQuillan was now a member he could if he so wished attend next weeks Simpson dinner. Tom Walton is arranging for the Club records to be on view that night.

Simpson dinner fixed for Thursday 5th February. Simon Rogerson put forward Dr Steve McQuillan for membership of the Club. Vote to be next month. There being no other business the meeting was formally closed and a superb Xmas buffet was enjoyed by all. Thanks due to John Wood for organising same.
November 1997
The President thanked Mr Braithwaite for having organised the Ladies night dinner which he said appeared to be enjoyed by all. John Phillipson however said he had not really enjoyed the evening mainly because of the fact that there were no proper seating facilities at the Old Mill other than remaining sat at the tables where the dinners had been served. He was also not over impressed with the meal but accepted that others had enjoyed it. Terry then mentioned the Simpson dinner to be held in February 98 and thought we should be deciding on venues now rather than in January. After some discussion it was decided on the Brown Cow Dalton.
