Grace for the 2008 HCI Annual Dinner
composed by Roger Bishop and read by Nigel Abbott.

   Spain, France and Germany, even going Dutch,   
UK shows and rallies, we have done so very much.
Today your chance to vote, to have your annual say,
To support the HCI, your Club in every way.

So now the real business, bring food in whilst it's hot,
Enjoy the company, forget your diets, eat the blooming lot.
So Lord we gratefully thank you, as we sit down here to dine,
Bless us all and absent pals, for friendship, food and wine.
