I will have many happy memories of my DG year not least of which will be attending various social functions including Charter Dinners. On Friday night, Daphne and I had the pleasure of attending the Charter Dinner of Dunfermline Carnegie where the warmth of welcome and the hospitality were superb. It seems such a short time since their formation that it was hard to believe that this was their 7th Charter celebration. We were welcomed by an excellent musical quartet, more of which later. The meal was really excellent and we enjoyed various toasts and addresses, including that from RIBI President Nominee, John Minhinick. At the end of this, we had further formal musical entertainment from the quartet who then decided that some audience participation was desirable. How hard is it to count to 7 before you clap hands? This was then followed by some real hands on music from untutored but willing performers on the kazoo, the duck call, the siren and the cymbols, ably led by President Jim Slater. It is a tribute to their efforts that the rest of us could actually recognise the tune. It was an all round, excellent evening and I was delighted to see a number of the Presidents from surrounding Clubs in attendance.
