ERC History Highlight
 
Did You Know...
 
For many years, attendance rules were tough and strictly enforced. If one missed four consecutive weekly meetings of the club, and didn’t make up somewhere else, you were out.

Also, if your attendance was less than sixty percent during either the first or second six-month period in the calendar year, you were also out.
 
Ah, how times have changed.
