2018 Club Summer Lunch - Sunday 15 July 2018
The lunch was once again held in the splendid grounds of the “Wardrobe” the Rifles (Berkshire and Wiltshire) Museum in Cathedral Close, Salisbury on a very sunny Sunday on 15th July 2018. 74 members with wives and guests attended with a number of new faces as well as the old stalwarts. Numbers were a little lower than previous years due to many having attended the 50th Anniversary of the formation of the Light Infantry Reunion Shrewsbury in mid-June.
The Chairman of the LI Club, Brig Mark Elcomb, thanked Lt Col Chris Topham for his hard work as the Lunch Chairman. He also confirmed that despite changes and increase in costs the intention was to continue with the Wardrobe as the venue for the Lunch as long as viable from both the catering and financial viewpoints. Volun- teers to head up the Lunch normally a one year commitment, the current Lunch Committee Chairman having lead since 2016, are still required and anyone interested in offering their services should make themselves known by either contacting the current Lunch Chairman or by emailing liclub@lightinfantry.co.uk .
Those attending (74) were Nigel Bedford and (daughter) Louise Bedford, Ron Berry and (daughter) Jane Howarth, Tim and Penny Bevan, Robin Brims, Stephen Caney, Kit and Julia Chambers, Richard and Avril Cousens, Mark and Nikki Elcomb, Ian and Di Foster, Alastair and Dee Fyfe, Robin and Deborah Garrett, Nick and Nikki Gaskell, Adrian and Vikki Gilbert, Celia Grover, John and Lucy Hemsley, John and Ann Kendall, Mark and Floss Keville, Barry and Shirley Lane, Mike and Gillian Latter, David and Jane Lawrence, Richard Le Fleming, Tim and Rosie Lerwill, Jill Makepeace-Warne, John Marsham, Corinna Mathson, Fenella Monk, Richard and Jemma Montagu, Christopher and Ruth Ogden, Roger and Polly Preston, Stephen and Vivienne Quant, Maryse Robertson, Ian and Erica Sharp, John and Trish Spiers, Chris Topham, Richard and Lynette Vaughan, Richard and Vivienne Vellacott, George and Lana Walls, Judy Watts, Alison Weller, Mike and Joanna Whistler, Hugo Caroline White, Jeremy and Hazel York.
