My grouse was that persons who do not know the history, would feel that we only lost the Club House because of an arson attack. Response: As a former President of the Goan Association(UK), I accept that Gabe would know more of the history of the Association than myself;but nowhere have I suggested that we "lost the Clubhouse only because of the arson attack". The sale of the clubhouse may well have been a fait accompli, but until such time as the sale was completed, members would still have been able to use and enjoy the facilities. Although without a permanent clubhouse or grounds, the Association continues to maintain a full programme of cultural and social events throughout the year, and this is to be commended.
