 Report of the Meeting of 11th January, 2012 .
The meeting was held at the home of Gordon King and Marian Coppins. The weather was not really clement but that did dampen the feeling of welcome we received in this very large garden with all sorts of promise for the future. As usual the food was provided by Bellarine Catering and was enjoyed by all. Thankyou, Gordon and Marian.
