16.12.11

I imagine like me you are wondering where the year has gone? No doubt like me, many of you are exhausted and really in need of this Christmas break. I hope you will be able to have time out and rest. In the run up to Christmas it will be necessary for many of us to work late and to provide super human effort to complete those task still lurking on our desks, deal with our Clients demands and to some how fit in in addition all those social events we want to go to! The waistline is seriously challenged by all the delicious food on offer and as the weather turns really wintery we even have to find extra time for our journeys. All this in a mere 24 hours a day! I hope despite the challenges you will take very good care and that you will have a most enjoyable Christmas. I wish you all a Happy, safe and prosperous New year

2.12.11

Ist December 2011 was a night to remember. Although the weather was against us the Presidential event went very well? it was a cold, wet, winters night but it didn?t stop those hardy KLS members who turned out in force to support the event and hear about the various ghosts who still cause havoc in the streets and dwellings of Canterbury.

What tragedy befell a mother and her children in what is now Tiny Tim's Tea Rooms?

What can happen if you fool around with a Ouija board?

What do the security Guards of the Cathedral regularly encounter on their late night checks of the precincts?

We discovered the answers to these, and many other curious questions when we joined John Hippisley for his humorous and entertaining Ghost Hunt.

2.6.11President and Treasurer

I attended the High Sheriff's garden party at her home in Benchley near Maidstone on the 1st of June. It was a beautiful sunny day - perfect weather for showing off sparkling chains of office.  This picture of our Treasurer Vanda James and I was taken on the lawn with the band playing in the background.  Yes we are sipping champagne!  It's a hard life being president!
