A patient of South West Trains again this morning for a committee meeting up in London, followed by a chat with a search firm, Heidrick & Struggles. Back home as soon as possible to meet up with my best friend, Ian, and his wife Debs, who now live in Gloucestershire but still make their way back to Surrey for dental appointments. It's a real shame that we don't see as much of each other as we used to, but the joy of old friends is that it takes but a few nanoseconds to reconnect.
They stopped for a cup of tea/coffee with digestive biscuits, then a glass of wine and some Pringles until it was time for me to leave: I needed to be at the Club for a 6:30-for-7:00-pm meeting of the Social Committee. No chance of sitting outside on the terrace tonight, so we repaired upstairs. It was a full turnout, so the Hospitality Suite was chock-full.
It is great to see so many people working together, on a volunteer basis, to try to make the social calendar at Burhill the best it can be. We talked through some of the events coming up: the Cross Country on the 10th October, Hallowe'en Night Golf on the 31st of the month as well as preparing for Christmas events as well as spending some time planning for next year. Our Chair, Lisa, has done a great job and will be a tough act to follow!
Afterwards, everyone else gathered for a post-meeting drink,... apart from me that is: I have an early morning start and need to get home for supper...
