This week’s FOAM meeting was a little different as both Charles and Julie were unable to host. They attended the Annual Siege of Malta Commemoration Dinner of the Order of St John of Jerusalem Knights Hospitaller. All members had been invited to join this special occasion, and it was a memorable evening of tradition, fellowship and celebration. Here are some photos so you can enjoy a glimpse of the night.
Unfortunately, the meeting link was not set up as smoothly as usual and the session cut out around the 45-minute mark. Julie extends her sincere apologies for this and appreciates everyone’s understanding.
Thank you to all who joined the meeting, and we look forward to seeing you again next week.
