Hi All Over the last month the team at the spares have been sorting and down sizing to make more room. To signal the Tuesday group morning tea time a bell (picture top right) is rung, which hangs by the entrance to the library. The other day I had a good look at the bell and written on it is TITANIC, so thought to myself having a bell from the Titanic was something special, so I asked around and our blast from the past Derrick Gordon (picture bottom right) came up with the history. The bell was donated to the club by Olive & Reg Kilby, two of our founding members in early July 1999 and on the 24th of that month a special Titanic dinner was held at the old club rooms, and this bell was used then, it went down a treat, so they say. We would like to thank Derrick for his morning tea which he put on to celebrate his 80th birthday last week. I think this may have to be the norm from now on!! Until next time.
