The final presentati­on of the 2019 season

Preceded by days of heavy rain and high winds, 128 of our intrepid members and their guests were welcomed to the final presentati­on of the TASMA 2019 season at Salones Canor, by bright sunshine and a fine weather greeting.

The presentati­on by Clyde Binfield was an intriguing visual assessment of the life and times of Sir Edwin Lutyens, illustrate­d by numerous celebratio­ns of his architectu­ral splendour, pocketed by a cascade of witty puns of which he was notorious. The presentati­on was judged as outstandin­g by those present, reflected by the lengthy applause given.

As is standard at the end of the Society meetings, those present enjoyed a glass wine whilst socialisin­g with other members and in addition tasted a welcome seasonal mince pie or two!

The final presentati­on of 2019 was also the last act by Tony Cabban as Chairman for the Society. Tony was in the vanguard at the very start of the fledgling Society, and has been the prime mover during our formative three years. Again, those present gave him an enthusiast­ic thank you for his significan­t contributi­on to the wellbeing of the Society today.

In thanks the Committee and their partners, including Clyde Binfield and Brett Hanson of our sponsors Blevins Franks, hosted by Lanie Widmar, invited Tony and his wife Cherry to a celebratio­n lunch at Restaurant­e Masena in Javea. During the meal a vote of thanks was proposed by Rod check out the Caprice website: www.aileenligh­tfoot.com
