SEGS Diamond Jubilee Dinner 2012

On a beautiful June evening over fifty SEGS members and
friends, including Jean Lumsden and Gordon Smith, both
Founder Members, joined Committee Members and our
President at Sweetwoods Park Golf Club to celebrate the
Society’s Diamond Jubilee.

Canapés and drinks were served on arrival and guests reminisced
on the terrace or in the bar before sitting down to a delicious
roast beef dinner.

Throughout the evening photographs charting the 60 year history
of SEGS were projected on to a wall and diners delighted in
recognising well known faces from the past. Of course, some of
those faces were their own albeit a few years younger and with
fewer grey hairs.

Richard Greenwood, the Society President, gave his usual amusing
and entertaining speech before the grand raffle was drawn. There
was a fabulous array of prizes which included a round of golf,
deer stalking, a gundog training lesson and a shooting lesson
at the Royal Berkshire Shooting School.

The generous support of the raffle enabled the Society to make
a donation to Canine Partners and also fund the ‘Diamond Jubilee
Award’ which will be awarded annually, to a member or non member,
for their ‘Services to the Society’ during the previous year.

An excellent evening of fine food, good company and fond memories.
