I am honoured to be elected as Chairman of the Calpe 41 Club for the next 12 months, and grateful to my predecessor, Stuart, who has done such a splendid job as Chairman for the past 2 years, during the pandemic. Being a member of Round Table and 41 Club for more than 40 years, I feel the last two years of Covid 19, the most challenging and restricing to all the clubs activities. Now that we are finally returning to normal I expect the next 12 months to be most exciting.

       My introduction to Round Table was in Brentwood Essex., Where I was the International Officer and twined that Club with a Round Table in Denmark. I then moved to Somerset and joined the “Wells 41 Club” and was elected Chairman. When I retired from the Post Office as a Catering Officer,  I moved to Spain and joined the Calpe 41 Club to continue the fellowship and friendship that the club has to offer.

       The new membership rules, “for like minded men” to join , will help to develop a new future for all 41 Clubs. Particularly those in Spain which have been experiencing a loss of membership due to the Schengen rules.

       In September my wife and I will be Cruising with the ” 41 Club Shipmates ” from Liverpool to Iceland on the Fred Olsen Line. We have enjoyed two previous cruises with the club to the Norwegian Fjords and the Danube. We enjoyed the companionship very much, meeting many interesting members along the way.

      I am looking forward to the challenges and privileges of being Chairman of Calpe 41 Club, and wish everyone a very happy and healthy future. 

Yours Truly Peter
