On Wednesday 5th December Guildford Circle held its annual Ladies and Clergy night at Guildford Rugby Club. The function was well attended with a total of 93 diners which included 5 Clergy: Fr Roy Waters; Abbot Paulinus; Fr David Parmitter; Fr Sebastian and Fr Dunstan. Abbot Paulinus and Fr Dunstan impressed all present with their sung prayers before meal.
Among the visitors was guest speaker Charlotte de Klee Producer of Plays at Wintershall. She took this role over from her father Peter Hutley, who was also present, in 2014. Charlotte gave a passionate and illuminating insight into the Wintershall Estate. There was also an unexpected performance by Rabina an Armenian Lady who entertained the gathering with her very vocal and energetic proclamation, ''God is Good!''
There was generous support for the Raffle and, as will be seen below, some tables seemed to get more than their fair share of prizes. Also, during the evening, Bro. President presented Hazel Foulkes with a bouquet in celebration of her 80th birthday. You certainly don't look it Hazel!
