A very sad day at El Cid. After 17 years of wonderful, cheerful and friendly service Charlie has decided to leave at the end of this month. The place will just not be the same without her. First and foremost massive thanks to her and best wishes for all she decides to do in the future. After a collection amongst El Cid members a presentation of jewellery and an envelope with contents (!) was made to her by Club President Yvonne Briden during this mornings club session. Happily Charlie says she will he back to see us and is even hoping to try a few games of bowls. We look forward to seeing you again very soon Charlie.
