GUILDFORD CIRCLE MEETING FEBRUARY 2015

The February meeting of the Guildford Circle was one of mixed emotions. Before prayers, Brother President requested Brothers to reflect in a minute of silent prayer for Marion Jenkins, wife of our Brother Brian Jenkins, who had died earlier in the day. Also for Brother Terence Nagle’s grand-daughter, Eleanor, who had recently died.

On a lighter note, after opening the meeting, Brother President proceeded to enrol Brothers Patrick Dowling and Malcolm Bulpitt who were transferring to the Guildford Circle from Tandridge and Banbury respectively. He also enrolled Mr Ian Rogers from Farnham as a Catenian Brother.

During dinner, Brother Chris Devereux gave a presentation of photographs he had taken during the last visit by him and his wife Jane to the Eastern Cape in South Africa depicting the work and achievements of The Nomntu Project. Brother President then announced that 25 Year Scrolls were to be presented to the following Brothers: Claude Kauffmann, Andrew O’Neill, Gerry Newell, Terry O’Leary, Barry Dale, George Gunson, George Briggs, David Allen, Leo Cash and James McGrory.
