CHAIRMAN’S REPORT// By Ian Elmsly

Well I’ll be buggered! How did I end up here? Firstly thanks to those members present at the AGM who elected me to the Chairmanship of the Branch (I think it’s a thank you at this stage!). Following once again in the footsteps of Steve Donovan I know that the Branch is in a good position from all angles and we look forward to continuing to provide something for our members. It was also pleasing to note some new faces stepping forward to serve on the Committee and equally pleasing that those who elected to step down are continuing in various roles around the Branch. On this note, it is important to mention the great service we have had from the outgoing committee members and Club Captain of Steve Trott, Esther Smith, Kevin McGrath and Trevor Charman. I know I speak on behalf of the whole club when saying that we have been very lucky to have had this group on and around the committee over a number of years and they have all been very committed members over the years. While they leave a big hole, I’m sure they will never be far from action or assistance when

required as we go forward. It is pleasing that we have had Paul Anderson and Alastair Chalmers step forward and I welcome them onto the committee. My first outing was to attend the Club Run on Sunday 13th, a practical lesson in straight-line navigation, so I was glad to be a passenger and have the luxury of watching the process from the back seat. An enjoyable run followed by afternoon tea at the Clubrooms, so well done to the organisers. As we go forward into another year with a new committee, if anyone has any ideas for runs or activities, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We welcome any input and the more the merrier. So that’s it from me. Yes a brief report, like my attendance for the next month. Stay tuned and we will see you at the Club.
