Keeping you informed

Demetris and members of his party in Leicestershire with Clive, Fred Rankin and branch chair for Leicestershire Tony Collins

Personally I have a few things now to look forward to later this month. Senior Gimborn Conversations are to be held this year in Ireland. I thank President Conor O’Higgins for his invitation, and look forward to seeing him in Kilkenny. I personally have a week at Flint House, the Police Rehabilitation Centre, following a shoulder operation just before Christmas. I never needed to use the facilities whilst serving, but I’m certainly pleased that I continued to contribute in retirement. I’m sure I will have an excellent week, and see an improvement in my condition. Many of you will know that Helen and I do like cruises. Obviously, we’ve not had one for many, many months now, and have been debating whether we felt confident to resume. Having both had our boosters, I am really pleased that we have a week around Europe booked in to look forward to. Finally as we look forward with optimism, can I ask you to just take a moment of reflection for those members who either succumbed to, or were affected by the pandemic last year. Those who we lost remain in my thoughts. Stay safe and keep well In friendship Clive Wood, Section UK President
