Brian McKowen
Club President 1997-2005 Club Member of the Year 1987 |
Fifty friends came together at The Club on Friday 21st September to raise a toast to Past President, Brian Mckowen who died in July 2018. Suzette gave a wonderful speech in his honour and ex President and fellow Riff Raff Daryl Griffin replied. Fizz, Nibbles, chat, stories and a fabulous evening was had.
Brian retired from his role as Club President in 2005. We are indebted to Brian in so many ways as he was a popular, very active, long-standing member of The Club. Amongst other things he was a Council member for nearly twenty years, one of the original Riff-Raff, organiser of the first President's dinner and an enthusiastic supporter of Marquee Week. His eight years as Club President from 1997 is the longest tenure in the Club’s history. During his term he worked tirelessly to raise the profile of The Club and took the first steps towards modernising our facilities, leading to the changes we all now enjoy. He was amongst the most notable of the Club's members and will be much missed. Antony Bush - President |
