Polio Annual Lunch 20th September 2023

Although Angmering Golf Club did us an excellent lunch last year, the room (albeit with a lovely view) was too small to manoeuvre wheel chairs round the tables causing the occasional gridlock.
So, on 20^th September this year, around forty of us made our way to the Worthing Golf Club for our annual lunch.  The weather forecast was dire, but fortunately the rain held off for our midday arrival.  This time, the room was a perfect size with no difficulties in getting around.  Robin had set up his greeting card stall and a very enticing table of raffle prices greeted our arrival.
The Committee had chosen the menu and what a triumph it was.  The starter was a delicious mini prawn fishcake, followed by some of the best roast lamb I have ever tasted accompanied by all the usual vegetables, all served piping hot by a very helpful team of waiting staff.  Finally the dessert - a gorgeous summer pudding even if the conditions outside didn’t quite live up to the name with rain, by now, lashing at the windows. Everyone agreed it was one of the best annual meals we had ever had.
After we had finished eating it was time for the speeches.  Our guest of honour was Kripen from head office accompanied by trustees Sue Brown and Linda Davis.  Unfortunately, I can’t update on anything specific in his speech as, from where I was sitting, I wasn’t able to hear him very well and only caught the odd snippet. 
It was agreed that the Worthing Golf Club did us proud and we are very much hoping that we can book the same venue for next year’s annual lunch. Joan Upton
