Geoff Andrew our P1 Area Governor was the GE. Geoff's advice to our Club was "You TMIKL as the oldest Club in District 51 has the name and fame. You have the potential to be Distinguished agai, if you work harder to get more members - Maybe people just have not heard much of your activities"

Geoff's advice was well received by all 7 members present.
