We discussed the Resolution which will be voted on at the Winsford Annual Council Meeting.

This was agreed by everyone and our delegate Gwen Hayhurst will vote for this resolution.

The speaker for the evening was Richard Eves with Red Carpet Tales.

He is a professional toastmaster and is in much demand for weddings. There is much more to the job than just giving a speech and toasting the bride and groom.

He liaises with the venue and catering staff, entertainers, photographers and everyone behind the scenes. He makes sure everything happens at the right time, that guests are looked after and the special day runs without a hitch.

He also officiates at funerals and corporate and public events. He seemed to be able to turn his hand to anything. We were told a few little tales which usually involved guests behaving badly but all were resolved with diplomacy and tact.

The wine glass competition was won by Con Lea with Karen Hilton second. The raffle for A.C.W.W. was won by Sheila Gallimore.

Our next meeting will be on March 25 at 7.30 at Lower Withington Parish Room when Judith Townsend will serve us a three course meal in a Wok.
