VISIT BY BRANCH CYCLE GROUP MEMBERS TO JELLICOE HOUSE

​

On Wednesday 17th December, five intrepid members of the Gosport SA Cyclists, headed by Hector MacCallum (standing second left), paid a Christmas lunch visit to Jellicoe House in Eastney to visit our own Andy Burns (seated right) and Dave Otley (seated left) and present them with SA shirts donated by our branch. Hector was accompanied by Ron Gordon, John Buffery, Kevin Ayton and Pete Davies. Kevin brought a bottle of port to share with all who sat down for lunch.

A good deal of banter always ensues at these visits, the female residents all get very excited when they know that Hector is coming, he is so cheeky! The two ex-Chief GIs love it when we pick them up for a haircut…… revenge is sweet!

An SA cheque for fifty pounds was also presented to the RNBT Charity who run the place, which was very gratefully received by the manager Jade (standing second right).

The residents have a full programme of entertainment laid on for them, we were just one of them. A lovely time was had by all, and it was a great pleasure to brighten their lives a little bit, they certainly brightened ours.
