Annual General Meeting 2017
President’s Remarks 28th June 2017
My year as President has come to an end and I would like to say it has been a great honour to serve in this capacity. Any concerns I had about fulfilling this role were quickly dispelled due to the support of seasoned members of the club who were willing to share their knowledge and wisdom. When I became ill, the care and concern of you all carried me through a very difficult time, thank you. Anyone who would like to take on this role in the future should not be deterred from doing so; they would, I am sure, receive the same support from fellow members.
For this next year you will be in the capable hands of Terry Dale; I wish him well.
During this year we have lost two valued members of our club:- Peter Crowther- Green and Eric Owen; they will be missed. We welcomed one new member, Malcolm Rigby; I am sure he has already experienced the benefits of belonging to such a great club.
During the year there were two holidays, one to St. Ives and one to the Isle of Wight. Our special thanks go to Ken Williamson for organizing them, I am sure we all appreciate what a difficult job it is.
Hoping you all have a successful year ahead.
Adrian
