THE Vaga Probus New Years luncheon was held at the Chase Hotel on February 3.

The annual gathering at the Chase Hotel was enjoyed by the membership and their wives and widows, with over 68 in attendance.

Several photographs were taken, where it was proving difficult to cover all on one shot, however they gave an indication of the enjoyable time that was had by all.

The president Andrew Talbot Ponsonby, identified by his bright red jacket, presided over the occasion with the Rev Paul Wheatley saying Grace.

Founding member Peter Thacker gave a loyalty toast to the Queen.

The next gathering which is the Presidents Day Lunch is scheduled to take place at the Bishops Palace in Hereford in June.
