Out-going President Bro. William D'Souza thanking the brothers for their support

His last boast!

His last toast to the new President!

I'm in charge now!

Bro. President in typical pose!

Bro. President telling a risque joke!

Ha ha Ha! that was a good one!

Bro. Stephen and Bro. Wally had obviously heard it before!

Responding to a request from Bro. President to entertain the brothers in his inimitable way, Bro. Wally steadies himself for action....

....before delivering an amazingly funny joke!

He He He! That was a good one too!

Wasn't it Bro. Stephen? And, it must be getting near going home time as Bro. James has moved on to Horlicks!

Next you will see miniatures being presented to out-going President Bro. William D'Souza and to Bro. Secretary, Steve Rowden.

I'm really sorry you are going Bro. William!

I'm not Bro. John!

Anyone got a pin?

Now it's Bro. Secretary's turn!

I still haven't got a pin!

Where shall I stick it Bro. Secretary?

I'll pass on that one Bro. President!

OK, that'll do!

Bro. President remembers he has another presentation to make!

So he dashes to the nearest discount store for a bottle of plonk, I mean wine!

Close your eyes Bro. CMKO and tell me what you think this object is? It feels like a bottle of plonk, I mean wine Bro. President!

Absolutely right Bro. CMKO!

Thank you for being a creative genius Bro. CMKO. Don't mention it Bro. President!

In this closing section, we have a line-up of the Guildford Four!

Bro. Secretary having trouble with his Miniature!

Still struggling!

Anyone got a pin, cellotape, glue... anything?

 You'll just have to keep holding it until next year Bro. Secretary! 

Goodnight and God Bless
