Initially I would like to mimic those comments of Mark…"

Pete Whetham replied to Alan Hulbert's discussion Why so few Events?"Hi Alan
Many Thanks for your thoughts. I suppose the MOB can seem a little cliquey at times to people who are not directly invovled with the club. But then again we do discribe ourselves as a small friendly club, and I think…"

I occasionally browse this site to keep in touch with what is going on.As usual there are very few events that members can join in with - a big disappointment.
