The Hooe History Society

  DICK CAREY'S TALK.

Dick's Talk was supposed to be in January, but due to the weather it had to be postponed until July, the crowded church was the evidence of that it was well worth the wait!  There is no doubt whatsoever that our village would not be the place it is without the many, many decades of enthusiasm and work that Dick has, quietly behind the scenes, tirelessly put into it.  It is thanks to him that we enjoy so many of the facilities that we have now, enjoyed the many events that we have in the past, and, of course, look forward to the events that we will enjoy in the future.  

Dick's enthusiasm and many talents mean that he, among things, was behind or the instigator of: the Football Clubs, the Bonfire Nights, Village Hall events, teaching Carriage Driving to young people, improving the Village Facilities as Chairman of the Parish Council, using his carpentry skills as a Wheelwright to make items and donate any profit to Hooe Church, being a friend of HRH. Prince Philip, teaching young people how to look after horses and ponies, and so the list went on and on!

Thank you Dick for an amazing, informative, entertaining and totally engrossing meeting.
