In the background on the screen is Ellaline Jennings, who is almost 103 years old and resides at Fairfield Hospital (Residential) Crank. Her father was a founder member of the club and Ellaline was also an active member, once holding the position of treasurer, and is now an honorary member of the club. Ellaline addressed people at the evening on video, saying how proud she was to be associated with the book and wished everyone an enjoyable evening.
