Hi Everyone,
The results are in! I’ll disclose the names of those who have been nominated by other members at the end of this email, and announce the date renewals open. This time during the vote, obviously there was no other people to vote for in order to make a committee. We did, however, require 20% of the membership to vote and we’ve had 22 votes this year. That’s a great result, not as many as last year (but then last year it mattered more!), but we’ve had more than most years at an AGM still!
Your 2022 Committee:
Chairman: Dave Evans
Membership Secretary / Treasurer: Sam Booton
Club Secretary: Clive Maulden
Club Officers: Jeremy Flatt, Tom Leonard, Mike Strain, Brian Howes

Having to deal with demands from members whilst doing all he can, and for the cooking at the BBQs he’s been done a lot for us this year”
To the whole club from a new member:“As I have only joined this year I would like to thank everyone that I have meet for being so friendly and helpful. Initially I came along to seek some advice and spoke to Dave and Bryan then 3hrs later I felt very welcome and decided to join”
