Our AGM Rally, the first of our 25th Celebration Rallies, was held at Harper Adams University and while there we were given a tour of the facilities including some of the farm animals.
We had our AGM on Saturday morning and following the election of committee members we took a break for refreshments. Everyone received a mug to commemorate our 25th Anniversary and a piece of commemorative cake. The meeting continued with a number of presentations and discussions on Club business.
The evening was the highlight of the weekend with food prepared on site by the University catering staff and what a meal we enjoyed - some of the courses were captured on the pictures here so you can see what you missed! After the meal we boogied to music played by our Club DJ Bill Challis using our new disco equipment.
