SDA Says Farewell To Gerry Lowe

Members of Saintfield Development Association recently held a surprise party for Gerry Lowe to celebrate his standing down as Chair of SDA after many years of service.  The party was held in The White Horse, Saintfield.

Treasurer Lawrence Murphy, Green Saintfield Committee Chair Kathy Owen, John Branch,
Lily Henderson and newly elected Chair of SDA Martyn Todd.

David Greer and Communications Committee Chair Brenda Maitland.

Alan Graham, newly elected Vice Chair and Chair of the Infrastructure Committee
Barbara Graham and Recruitment Project leader Paul McGeown.

Secretary and Events Committee Chair Ian Mack, Alan Maitland and Donald Mercer.

Kathy Owen and Brenda Maitland enjoy a glass of wine as they anticipate Gerry’s arrival.

Gerry had been invited to have a drink with a couple of friends and was completely
taken aback by the room full of SDA members who had gathered in his honour!

Gerry is handed a large knife …

… and he slices into his cake.

A moment of contemplation before he speaks to the assembled crowd?
No, just a case of blinking at the wrong time!

David Kennedy, Gerry Lowe and Brian Gamble round off the evening with a drop of “the black stuff”.

Gerry’s cake bedecked with edible golf balls!
