THE NEW president of Keighley Retired Men's Forum is Silsden resident Rodney Fall.

Inverness-born Mr Fall (pictured) has been a member of the long-established group since retiring six years ago.

During his working life he held various hotel management positions in Scotland, England and Wales.

He was an officer in the Royal Air Force, retiring at the rank of Squadron Leader, and also ran residential and catering services at Aberdeen, Leeds and Bradford universities.

Mr Fall moved to Silsden 24 years ago with his wife Lorna – who died last year.

Keighley Retired Men's Forum meets on Thursdays at 10.15am at the Keighley Playhouse theatre on Devonshire Street. Activities include slideshows, talks, trips, walks and an annual luncheon.
