December 2024
I will start by saying a big thank you to all involved in the Salvation Army Toy run and presentation day.
Thanks to Peter for getting the day started with a very pleasant drive from our Clubrooms to finish at Rathmines. Andrew then took over and presented the toys to the Salvation Army.
We then entered the Club for Lunch.
Following lunch we had our presentation of trophies. I won’t go through all of the recipients, you will find them elsewhere in your magazine, but I would like to make special mention of two awards.
The Clubman for the year went to our Editor Graham, congratulations Graham.
The other award was the Octagon award, my wife Kay was the recipient for this one, I should add that I got into trouble for this because I was able to keep it secret from her.
Thanks to Andrew and Linda for their entertainment during the Trophy presentations and also thank you to Trish and Ian for keeping the score throughout the year.
On another issue, I have it on good authority that Alan Andoni has put his hand up to
organise the next years “Long Tuning Run”. Thank you Alan and Gina.
Don’t forget, our first run for the year 2025 is our Breakfast run to Blackalls Park on Sunday 19th January.
Octagonally Yours,
Denny Bowden,
President, MGCCHR
