Reports

 

At Bodmin Social Evening we were superbly entertained by DEW VARDH, namely Bert Biscoe and Pol Hodge. A very lively time was had by all and we all indulged on pasties and saffron buns. Our new banner was presented to the Society by member Veronica Hill who had made it to celebrate our 90th Anniversary.
