White Rose Branch  held a meeting in the Longboat bar of the Premier Inn, York on Saturday 11th September. 

Present were New W R Member Phil Pallent, Clive Dennison, Pincher Martin, Stan McLellan, Terry Foreman, Trevor Dixon, John Rogers and myself.

Unfortunately we could not entertain our Ladies to a meal afterwards as the Longboat were having staffing issues.

I updated on recent correspondence and my telephone call from TCA stalwart Pancho Brett, who is experiencing ongoing health problems. The most recent being a fracture in his back.

Discussed sitrep from Bill Pollington on TCA inventory. I will be contacting him today.

Terry and Clive are waiting until the New Year before trying to organise a weekend away. Although a visit to TRINCOMALEE in Hartlepool was mentioned.

A proposal for the AGM was discussed which I will forward separately.

Date for next meeting. Saturday 15th of January 2022. Hopefully with a meal afterwards. Venue to be confirmed.

Yours Aye,

Buster Brown
