The declining years and old friends

Brendan Fitzgerald again became president 2017-8, Juan Antelo 2018-9 and Bill Whitmarsh for the 5th time 2019-2020. In the process of discussing our future several brothers resigned. In the end only 14 were left of which 6 attended regularly.

 Maureen Reid died 2019. Teddy died in 1995 - he was famous for kissing brothers!
 Freddie Baldwin died 2006 a colleague of Harry Mellor
Tony Nicholls died 2013 and John played for the funeral
The passing of Philip really marked the end of the circle. I played for the funeral which was very well attended.
