Annual Dinner and Dance 2007
by Michael Pumfrey

This year’s Society Dinner Dance on October 29th was again held at Whittlesford Memorial Hall near Cambridge. 101 members and friends sat down to an excellent meal provided by Poppies Catering. New for this year was the opportunity for guests to participate in a colouring-in competition, resulting in some interesting artwork to be found elsewhere in this magazine…
   Our Guest speaker was Boz Oram, as featured (looking rather worse for wear) on the Steve Neville DVD. Boz spoke about some of the trips he organises under the banner "History in Harmony".

In addition to these the roller cup went to Trevor Ellis and the model cup to Tim Clarke.

   Music was once again provided by "The 6T’s", while those of us not suited to dancing made use of the Bar, provided by The Plough at Great Chesterford, and looked at the photos on display in the Millenium Room opposite the main hall.
   Everybody had a good time and thanks must be expressed to Maureen Pumfrey for the massive amount of work she puts into the event each year.
