I’m sure that membership will continue to increase and all concerned will be greatly encouraged by the new building and facilities.” After unveiling a plaque, she toured the building and chatted to members who were demonstrating their club’s numerous activities. Over tea in a marquee behind the club, the Princess met more young people who were presented to her by club leader John Bird and Canon de Berry.
