I was installed as President at the Club Meeting on 30^th June, when the outgoing President Nigel Gilhead placed the chain of office around my neck.  This bears the names of all those who have led the Club since its Charter in 1965 and is a very weighty reminder of the responsibilities I have accepted.  

At the Club Assembly in June I outlined my hopes and plans for the coming year, reminding members that if we are to prosper and grow we must be prepared for change.  We are trialling a new format for monthly Business & Committee meetings, to increase members’ involvement in all our activities.  Club membership is to be a priority and we aim to increase our number, currently 30, this year.  I invite any person, male or female, interested in learning more of our aims and objectives to contact me and to come to one of our weekly meetings.
