More than 70 people last week attended our 37th Changeover dinner, and saw farewells to two stalwarts of the club, gave honours for hard-working members, heard a review of our work in 2011-12, and a preview of what is planned for 2012-13.

And of course, we saw President Rob hand over the club charter to John Howard Collins, and saw President John’s new Board take a bow. We were captivated by the singing of Rob McDougall who performed a medly of songs for our entertainment. Some were well known and others less well known but all were performed with the skill of a true professional singer. We wished him well in his further studies in New York and thanked him for making time out of his exam timetable to entertain us.

Immediate past President Rob Hamilton is seen in the photograph below passing over the chain of office to John who then introduced his incoming team.
