The Treasurer, Chairman & First Lady on the Champagne Lawn in the Stewards' Enclosure
Henley. The reason for the formation of the fine body of men and women (not forgetting the children) who fail to row on the Witham, and attended for the 17th consecutive year by the Chairman on Wednesday 28th June, ably supported by the Treasurer and First Lady who both looked delightful and indulged the gate crashing whims of the Chairman as only a dear old chum and a dutiful wife could.
The Captain, who had been attendant at Staff College, was not due to attend on the 13th anniversary of his wedding day, but as a fluke of good fortune which has characterised the Club’s history thus far, he managed not only to leave Shrivenham early but to arrive (after a car journey, 3 train journeys and a ten minute walk) outside the Stewards’ in full club kit by 4.44pm, no less. Quite how he did it I will never ascertain, but one should never question the good fortune with which the club has been traditionally endowed. As ever, the sun always shines on the Witham…..
