The very last item of the A.G.M. was appointing our elder statesman, Morgan Dunne, as an honorary life member in recognition of his years of dedication and service to our club.

A huge round of applause ensued for this more than worthy recipient and then Morgan, typical of his wit, proposed a motion that the grills be taken off of the bar and get it open quickly!
