Special Event - Honorary Life Membership Award Twenty one members enjoyed a lovely evening meal at Marco Polo Prestbury on Wednesday 19th May 2004. The occasion was the surprise award of Honorary Life Membership of the club to Beryl Footman. The announcement was made by Chairman John Langdill. An amusing verse written for the occasion was read out by Nigel Shaw (reproduced below) and then Jackie Booth presented Beryl with a card (signed by all present), a bouquet of Flowers and a Stainless Steel Thermos Flask.

| Please allow me a
moment of your time, to speak with uneducated peril, as I entertain you once more in rhyme and tell of the honour we bestow, on Beryl. She Studies French and has a maths degree The Times Jumbo crossword is no strain So against popular belief as you'll see our Essex girl, certainly has, got a brain! Once Deputy Head of Nottingham High Then Head of Macclesfield Girls High school Finally the F. E. College's Principal guy This educated lady, is no fool. She can fool around, tell jokes and stories Walks with Beryl are always a giggle Humorous and entertaining she sure is Like saying eight, is a naught, with a belt in the middle! And if crisp packets have 25% less fat What happens if you eat four? And that story about France when she went splat as she tried to walk through a double glazed door! |
Monopoly games
she's an inventor of old A champion of quizzes and a quiz mistress too And a wiz on PCs or so I am told but if you ring her mobile she gets in a stew! Joining Macc Ramblers about ten years ago With all our members she soon got-on That first ramble down Lathkill Dale, she wasn't slow In fact she fell and then rolled to the bottom! Now on rambles, if you hear a repetitive click Have a look round and see if it's Beryl the noise may well be coming from her walking stick which has a gun cartridge in place of the ferrule! Much more I could tell there is such a lot but I have rambled enough for one night that it's no longer a surprise, matters not, so now raise your glass for the time is right It is my great pleasure not only to award Honorary Life Membership to Beryl But to say we have clubbed together And bought her a new rubber Ferrule ! |
