A Presidents' Dinner was held at Chester Road Sporting Club on 26th September 2014.
Posted on Fri 10 October 2014
A similar event had been held in September 1993 to mark the centenary of the birth of John Drake. Past President Brian Gittins was responsible for instigating and helping to organise both of these events.
Charlie Combes, our current President, welcomed all those attending, comprising 22 Past Presidents with invited guests, including Tim Gulliver and the new School Headteacher, Stephen Brownlow. In concluding the evening's proceedings, John Booth gave an interesting and humorous speech in which he paid tribute to several past members that had made significant personal contributions over a sustained period to the success of the Association.
