The 722nd meeting of the Guildford Circle took place on Wednesday 2nd
October 2019 at the usual venue, Guildford Golf Club. The Circle was
pleased to welcome Fr Kevin Dring of St John's Seminary who was
accompanied by two Seminarians, Scot Coleman and Gary Carter. Also in
attendance was Bro. David Arundale, Director of province 19, and two
visiting gentlemen, Matthew Dell and Lazlow Lukucs.
During the meeting two new brothers were
enrolled, Dave Barrett and Michael Maher who joined as a joint member of
Guildford and Jersey Circle. In turn, they both gave a brief history of
themselves to the brothers. When the meeting ended the brothers and
guests made their way to the restaurant
where Grace before Meal was said by Deacon Bro. Paul Page-Tickell.
During
the meal the usual platitudes and story telling took place and Fr Kevin
spoke on the activities and daily life within St John's Seminary followed by a discourse from Seminarians Scot and Gary.
