Dear members and friends,
Let me start this summer letter by asking you to reserve your places for
the meetings coming up this autumn. If you do it before the holidays,
you’ll have something to look forward to when you come back! For your
information, we’ve changed some of the dates this autumn so this is a
good opportunity to make sure you don’t miss a meeting. The dates are as
follows: -
On behalf of the entire committee, I would like to wish you and your
families a warm and peaceful summer. Thank you for your participation
this season, I hope you have enjoyed the meetings and, most importantly,
the company of fellow members and guests. The most important element of
The Cally is said to be the social side, to chat and joke amongst
like-minded friends. With this in mind, we hope to see you again in the
future events.
May you all have a very good summer.
Yours Aye,
Dr. Ian McIntyre
Hon. President |
