Kitty Competition October 18th 2012

    Today the Seniors section said goodbye to Eileen who had served the Seniors section and the Club so
                     well over the last few years. Eileen produced a poem as below

Eileen’s Farewell to Clays

I started here 2001,and many staff have come and gone.

Lots of people from many nations, and with some of these we had to have patience

But always one who stuck it out, I lasted long without a doubt

A decade and more has gone so fast, and now I’ve decided I’m going at last

Seen lots of people come and go, staff and members to and fro

Little boys I’ve watched them grow into fine young men who I’m proud to know

Boys and men all passing through, playing in winter though hands are so blue

Sunshine days, the Ladies met, then came for drinks and a tete a tete.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, happy days with all my Seniors and their own little ways

Bacon butties, a peck and a hug, cup of tea? No you can’t have a mug!

Plate of chips, sausage bap, a little something to fill the gap.

Borrow a pencil, lend a pen. Your pot of coffee? Oops forgot again

David’s coming, best look busy, can’t move fast , it will make be dizzy.

Yes, Dave’s still here, Wyn and Steve, been here forever I do believe

Bosses, members, colleagues too, to love them all just wouldn’t do

Some people are best left in the past, but I’m happy to say that friendships last.

Because some are special whom I have met, and special people you don’t forget.

So I retire and my working time ends, I’m happy to call you ALL my Friends.
