Jon, with our entertainers, Claude, Martin Cos and Romany. There were 161 in attendance, and all had a great time.

During the meeting it was announced that David Willitts had been a WMA Member for over 45 years. Congratulation were in order.

Every two years, the WMA holds a One day Convention. The 2015 Convention was held in 'The Hub' at Verwood. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best that had been held. Web Pages for the Convention

We were entertained first by David Carre (as Santa Claus) and then the excellent mind-reading of Mark Paul.

The party proved very popular, with plenty to eat and drink.

During the AGM, the outgoing president (Jay Parsons on the right) welcomed the new President (Jon Gadd on the left).

Also, David Carre was made a 'Master Member' of the WMA. David is quite elusive, and this is the only picture of him that could be taken. He's in the light red shirt.

Before the meeting, where we had the very interesting series of short talks by members, there was the ceremony to welcome a new WMA member, David Hoare, who passed his audition a short while ago. The President, Jay, is on the left, wearing his chain of office.
