Needless to say, Dot was immensely happy to have been a part of the occasion. Many thanks are given to the various members of the Parish Church, especially Gail del Pinto, who made this lovely weekend possible. Also a big ‘thank you’ goes to all those who attended the proceedings and helped to make it the success that it undoubtedly was.
