Birthday 🎁 Celebrations 💐😊 and our Annual General Meeting. Not often we have cake at our meeting but when our Festival Director and our newest committee member share a birthday, cake was certainly going to be on the menu. Many congratulations to Patricia Mulligan (our festival director and who last night attended her 510 meeting) & Eddie McClean (his 2nd meeting) and a little camera 📷 shy. We hope you both have a wonderful day 😊🧁
