s a last "event" for our centenary year, a collection of items of interest were placed into a time capsule to be opened in 2075.

Securing the capsule was no easy task but, with patience, determination and a little ingenuity, thanks to Jim Philip (a life member) and helpers, these memories are now safely preserved for a future generation to discover.
