The 745th meeting of the Guildford Circle was held on Wednesday 6th October at
Guildford Rugby Club. Incorporating the use of video conference, the meeting commenced at 7.30 pm when President Bro. Bob Hughes welcomed the twenty nine Guildford brothers attending in person together with six brothers on Zoom. He also welcomed visiting brother Michael Phillips from Woking Circle, who will be
joining Guildford as a joint member in November, and visiting gentleman,
Mike Chambers.
During the meeting Bro. Provincial President, Geoff Bignell, was congratulated on the success of his Provincial Weekend in Bath which raised £2,523 for Mary's Meals. Because the Circle's previous venue, Guildford Golf Club, is unable to consider external events for the forseeable future, it was announced that alternative venues are being considered.
Bro. President announced that Bro. Greg Melly will assume the role of Registrar and thanked Bro. Brian Jenkins and Bro. Martin McHugh for stepping in as Acting Registrars. Following the meeting, the brothers and guests retired to the dining area for the first dinner since March 2020.
Please see below a selection of photographs taken on the evening.
