During the Changing of the Guard we reviewed a lot of information about activities in 2025-26. For a additional information, read below and view the photo albums on the home page (top links on the home page of our club website).
Photography:
Thank you to John Herdman, our regular official photographer we have nearly 200 photos making memories of our year. We also thank the various volunteer photographers who are always happy to help.
I won't try to name them all as I will likely leave someone out. Just know how important you are to the newsletter, website and facebook.
