Thank You to all that supported my Charity Year. Between us we raised just over £6,600. This was split equally between the two Charities, nominated by members, being “Off The Streets” and “The Indee Rose Trust”. Cheques were presented to the two charities at the weekend of the AGM.

Below are copies of the “Thank You” received from each Charity.

Hi All

It’s AGM time again.

All Centres need committees to keep going and as we are not getting a lot of new blood in, it’s down to the members we have got. A lot have done their bit to keep Centres running, this message is for those members who have not.

I know it seems a very daunting thought to take on a position on the committee, but remember you are not on your own, there is always someone to help you into the role and remember you can only do your best,

You can put your ideas across at committee meetings to guide the Centre on a route you want. Change can be good. Meetings are fun, but you are there to drive your Centre forward.

What would you do with your weekends if you couldn’t rally and spend time with friends, so this year more than any year I’ve known in 24 years of being on committee, we need you more than ever.

So please, please think about it. Have a word with any other committee member or speak with Sue or I. We will try to guide you in the right direction.

I for one do not want to have to look at the consequences without a Centre.

Take care.

Paul

Just a reminder that the Centre AGM will be held at Mayflower High School, Stock Road, CM12 0RT, commencing at 10:00am

Nominations for Officer or Committee should be in not later than 14 days prior to the meeting, that’s this coming weekend. Executive Officer positions of TREASURER and SECRETARY still vacant. I don’t need to spell out again possible outcome of positions not being filled (see previous posts).

Rally being run from 3-5th October. You are encouraged to book on, or alternatively just attend the AGM Supper Dance on the Saturday. Booking Slips in your Rally Book. The meal will be Roast Beef with trimmings, followed by Apple Crumble and Custard.

Most Important: please do attend your AGM. Don’t forget to bring your membership card.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to inform you that Margaret Myall passed away yesterday. As many will know Margaret and the late Ken were very active members of South Essex, and contributed much. Margaret was mother to Lynda Carter, and Ian Myall, Much loved Mother in Law to Ian, and grandmother to Lee and Natalie. Sending condolences to the whole family. May the fact that Margaret had a long and full life, and that she is reunited with Ken, bring you comfort.

Do you wish to continue to Rally with South Essex ?

The South Essex Centre Committee needs YOU, NOW!.

As you may be aware the current Treasurer and Secretary are standing down at this year’s AGM.

The Centre can only continue to run going forward if it has the 3 officers, Chairman, Treasurer & Secretary, and 2 further Committee members as a minimum.

If we do not have the required Committee members standing at the AGM, any rally scheduled after the AGM will not be able to run. The Centre will immediately be put into hibernation, with all activities frozen

Please think about joining the Committee now. Contact any of the current Committee members before it is too late.

If you feel you could fill one of the roles as Treasurer, Secretary or Committee, please email a slip to the current Secretary Janice Price.

Support will be given. The email address is:

Secretary@secc-online.org.uk

Thank you

South Essex Centre Committee.

Nomination slips for members wishing to stand for committee for the coming year will need to be with me by 20th September. Please email the slips to:

secretary@secc-online.org.uk

or pass them on to any currently serving committee member.

As you may be aware I am standing down as secretary at this years AGM.

A new Treasurer and Secretary are both required this year for the centre to continue.

Please continue to support the centre and consider standing for committee for the coming year. Thank you.

Janice Price

Secretary

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
