Red Chamber & Meet the Cousins

Our Red Chamber Evening Meeting was great fun

and the food was wonderful. 25 of us sat down to eat

and everyone enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately Emma Chen

was unable to join us as her 80 year-old father is very ill and she had to

fly to Taiwan to be at his bedside. Our good wishes to her and her family.

A pity that she was unable to see the success or otherwise of her chopstick talk!

Meet the Cousins was held in Midrand on Freezing Saturday!

Fortunately the venue was warm. Graham and I attended but

practically separately as we both had other things on with

a brief overlap. The importance of these functions is really networking.

I came away feeling that we will all be enriched by the merged district

as our current distict is really just Clubs around the Reef.

Now we will have Swaziland, Mozambique and lots of Clubs in between.

That can only be more fun!
