As announced during Flagpole on the Nine Acres Rally, this morning, at the forthcoming AGM the Centre Treasurer AND Centre Secretary will stand down. My three year term as Chairman will expire, as such, the three mandatory positions on the Committee will need to be filled. I understand that we are fortunate to have somebody willing to stand as Centre Chair.
The Centre does need to fill the positions of both Secretary & Treasurer. From my own point of view, having spent the last fifteen years on the main committee, along with Kevin Higgins, I will be stepping back from running the Centre. I would never say never again, but at present it is time for somebody else to step up, if you all, as I do, want the Centre to continue. I would be more than willing to offer support to anybody taking on the responsibility should it be requested, but in the background. For the sake of clarity, the Caravan & Motorhome Club can only permit a Centre to continue where the position of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary are filled appropriately, in addition to other committee members.
When we only circulated news by a periodic Newsletter, the Newsletter was entitled ‘South Essex Matters’. This name was put forward by the late, much respected Alan Leslie. As you will all know Alan served on committee for several years himself culminating in becoming Chairman from 1998 to 2001. In 2010 Alan returned to Committee, at that time to fill the position of Hon. Secretary. If South Essex matters to you, now is the time that YOUR Centre needs YOU. As current Chairman, can I ask all members to consider these needs, and please feel free to contact me, or Kevin, or Janice.
If you are in a position to join Committee in any role, it is time to get your slips into Janice.
Many thanks
DAVID
