At our last meeting of the Branch, we were joined by Mr Paul o Brien, President of the ISRS who also made a surprise presentation to TJ Grant. This was in recognition to the years of dedicated service to the National Association. Tj was completely taken by surprise on the night and Paul was also joined by his fellow committee members from the national body. TJ received his award at the end of our last monthly meeting to a standing ovation.

A more detailed report and some more photos will be published as soon as they are available.
