Our April Circle meeting was indeed an eventful one with thirty nine Guildford Brothers in attendance together with one Visiting Brother and three Visiting Gentlemen. Firstly, the retiring President, Bro. Geoff Bignell, installed Bro. Kevin Deeming as his successor. As the new President of the Guildford Circle, Bro Kevin then installed; Bro. Greg Melly as Vice President, Bro. Stephen Rowden as Treasurer, Bro. Phil Ballance as Registrar and Bro. Mark Wilson as Press and Publicity Officer.
In handing his presidency over to Bro. Kevin, Bro. Geoff was completing his second term in office having first served as President of the Guildford Circle in 2006. In recognition of this, he was presented with a miniature by Bro. Peter Woodford Director of Province 19 and a member of the Reigate Circle.
