Rod’s Leaving Celebration 12.12.24

On Thursday 12th December we held a very special event to say Goodbye to Rod a volunteer and committee member at club. Rod has volunteered at New Forest Mencap and Gateway Clubs for 38 years. This is absolutely amazing and we wanted to mark the occasion with a special evening and some special gifts. We were absolutely delighted that Rod’s wife Sandy was able to come to join the celebrations.

Club members made sure there were special seats for Rod and Sandy.

Everyone was really interested to hear about all the different roles Rod has done. He has been Fundraiser, Trustee, Club Chair, Committee member and of course an absolute legend with Woodwork activities. Thank you Rod.

Kelly presented Sandy with some beautiful flowers.

Rod was delighted to be presented with a bird box signed by everyone.
( Rod had previously made the bird box with a member!)

Corky delivered the bird box very carefully.

Next came a cake decorated by member Caitlin.

Sarah had made an absolutely amazing cake.

Everyone loved the woodwork tools as decoration.

Lots of members came to say a special goodbye to Rod and Sandy.

It was a lovely evening and absolutely everyone at club says a massive thank you to Rod for his time and generosity. We really hope you will call in to see us sometimes.
