1. REPORTS

R.1  The latest Ladies’ lunch report can be read HERE

R.2  On Wednesday 13th August over 40 members met for our annual Presidents’ Outing.  Members met at 13:45h at Bedford Sovereign Quays for a leisurely cruise on the John Bunyan river boat along the river Great Ouse to ‘The Kingfisher Hotel’ and back.  At the Kingfisher members disembarked for a very enjoyable afternoon tea before rejoining the boat for the return passage, arriving back at Sovereign Quays at approximately 17:00.  In addition to the excellent organisation by the Ladies’ Club President, Marilyn, the balmy weather contributed to a very leisurely and pleasant afternoon.
