The entertainment for the evening was comedian Martin Gold, who is a warm-up comedian for many TV shows.

Martin has appeared at venues including The London Palladium. He has also twice been voted by The Variety Club the comedian of the year.

He had members in stitches of laughter with his brilliant clean act. He was thanked by member Terry Hawkins.

The next meeting in 2020 will be the annual meeting on January 8 when John Groom will induct Michael Bates as the new chairman.
