Chairman for the evening was Rev. Hugh Cubitt and the special guest was Mrs Eva Reid who in fact started the Company back 
in 1964.

The programme included items from the various sections in the company – the Explorers telling the story of the Tiddlers as well as some of of the tinies being ducks and rabbits.
