NEW 2009 SUB COMMITTEE
Chairman, Gary Nash, announced that he is to
shortly set up a 2009 sub-committee. The Griffins were founded in 1934 which
makes 2009 our 75th Anniversary. When we celebrated our Golden Jubilee in
1984 we organised many special events and Gary hopes that we will do the
same in 2009.
Possible considerations for the 2009
sub-committee are a jubilee logo, a black tie ball, reunions, special
productions even the possibility of a jubilee anthem competition. Gary will
be announcing how to join this committee shortly. |
