Dear Members
Following Sunday’s SECC AGM, I wanted to send all my thanks for the support myself and the Committee received allowing us to continue to run. We again have a wonderful Committee, many of whom stood last year, which has a wealth of experience between them and I am so looking forward to working with them over the year.
My good wishes to David Mills, our last Chairman, and thanks for all his hard work during the three years, it was brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with David and I want to wish him and Marion a more relaxing time in the future to be with family but still to rally with the Centre..
Our most urgent challenge is to get the Rally Programme together, drawn up and published. Ian Carter has again agreed to continue to oversee the Rally Programme so my plea to you all is to get your Planning Sheets to Ian Carter as quickly as possible. This also applies to myself and I have given myself a good telling off. Also, if you want to run a new rally or have any new venues then please contact Ian with the information, which would be amazing. If we all work together then the new book will be able to be published on target.
Our Centre is terrific with great rallies and socials which allows friends to meet up and have a good time. For me, friendship is the purpose of the Centre and with so much experience amongst you I believe we will have a good year’s rallying. Small or large rallies can be equally pleasant and look forward to joining you on the rally field.
I am looking forward to working for the South Essex Centre during the year and would thank you for giving me the new job, for which I am thoroughly grateful.
Regards
Beverley Walker
