ACCRINGTON NEWS

In early February nearly 40 members, wives and friends met for lunch at the Brown Cow in Chatburn. Pres. Andrew Snape took the opportunity of the occasion to present a 25 year membership scroll and medallion to Bill Hargreaves. It was a nice gesture as Bill is now 94 and a resident in the Ribble Valley and therefore cannot attend many Circle meetings. 

 

 

The joint meeting with Chorley Circle in February attracted around 70 Brothers including many visitors. On 25 February Neil & Jean Goodall organised a Table Top Treasure Hunt at Rishton Cricket Club which was attended by around 40 members, wives and friends. It was an enjoyable and competitive event and finished with a superb buffet supper. Also in February the snooker team were defeated by Burnley Circle in the Provincial Snooker Competition on a re-spotted black ball in the deciding frame. April 13th was a momentous date in the history of the Circle as they held their first ever Virtual Council Meeting on Zoom. After some initial problems with both video and audio which caused great amusement to all partaking the meeting was deemed a success and will be repeated in the future.
