The Presidents BBQ


The invitation from the President of the GCUOBA, UK was eerily prescient.

Great Mariner,
The gods appear to be smiling on us for the BBQ for Saturday - the weather forecast is good. This has been confirmed by cowry and cola-nut oracles and powerful Met Office computers. It should be warm enough to swim so please bring swimming kit at least for the kids. This is promising to be a great occasion when we shall meet GCU old boys and their family members. For example there is a good chance I will be meeting some people I have not seen for nearly 40 years. Our Social Secretary, with the help of the exco, is presently very busy cooking up some delicious surprises for the occasion.
