We were all shocked and saddened by the untimely death of Gerald Proctor. He was a valued member of the Society and of the committee and will be greatly missed. 

 A group of visitors from Nogent-sur Oise came over for the 3rd May Mayor Making and were hosted by members of the committee. We spent a day in York together, followed by supper at The Bay Horse, Cherry Burton.

Gerald Proctor  had arranged for a private box at Beverley Racecourse which was very much appreciated by the Nogentais. Gerald and Pauline also made their pavillion (annex) available in the evening for a supper provided by the committee. They also very generously invited everyone into their  home for drinks before the meal.

The Secretary from Nogent-sur-Oise extended an invitation to our members to attend a Town Twinning festival in Nogent to be held in May 2011.

The annual dinner was held at Rolando's Restaurant.

Roger Day and Alison Parkes went to Nogent for the Town Twinning festival and received a very warm welcome.
