Raimundo's Retirement
Many members attended the Strawberries, cream & Pimm's social event where there was a surprise presentation and a song in Spanish for Raimundo Navarro of the Housman Room bar. A card and gifts had been bought for him on behalf of all members. Raimundo retired at the end of June 2023 and will be much missed.
