Sadly club member Paul Bolton lost his fight with cancer recently after suffering poor heath over recent years. Paul was a valuable member of the Club since 2008, all club members send their condolence to Paul’s family. We are also saddened to hear of the sudden loss of another ex-member in the last few days. Aksel Arneke was a club member from 2004 until 2014 when he returned to his homeland, Norway, to be with family, again the club sent condolences to his family.
There were 2 draws for the 125 Club, one for March & April, numbers 29 & 87 each winning £50. For more details on the 125 club or to join please see our 125 Club page on this website.
We are currently looking for new members. The club name can be a little misleading as it is not necessary to be a Businessman to join. Anyone with time and the interest to be part of a club with the Ethos of helping the less fortunate on Hayling Island can apply for membership. In addition to aiding this worthwhile cause through the planning and arranging of fund raising events, there are member social gatherings throughout the year. The combination of these activities enables members to build close relationships, and find friends for life. For further information please email recruitment@hibc.org.uk or contact any club member.
