Sorry to those who have signed up for the weekly newsletter. You didn’t get it this morning as the website, seems to have been got at and the database of newletter subscribers has been wiped.

I have checked that there does not seem to have been any other problems and have changed the admin passwords so we should be OK now.

Good Morning all,

I hope you are well. It was good to see another rally at Clare was enjoyed by members, and it is always nice to see appreciation given to the Marshals that run rallies for the Centre.

2024/25 Plaque Colour – I have today advised FM Tags of the new colour for the 2024/25 Rally Plaques. To remind you, as per my intention stated at last years AGM, any fellowship plaques, or committee plaques will be in the Yellow to reflect the year for which they are awarded. The new Colour for the coming year will be presented, as usual, at the AGM. Please can I take this oportunity to, once again, encourage members to attend the AGM/Rally. Anybody ordering plaques for rallies that run after the AGM, should just request the ‘new colour’, when placing your orders.

Prior to the AGM, I hope to see as many of you at the Programme Presentation Rally.

Take care all.

DAVID

Members have just a couple of days left to submit their nomination for the Charity Year. This will then be decided at the next committee meeting on 24th September.

It is not an easy decision for the committee as there are so many charities that need funds.

The Bonus Ball will be available on rallies to start raising funds.

Thank you for your continued support in our Charity Year. The charities will really appreciate it.

If you would like to submit a nomination please email me at:

secretary@secc-online.org.uk

Thank you

Janice Price

Your Support needed

Good evening all, I hope that you are enjoying the Rally Programme put on for 2024, especially as we have now (finally) had some good weather.

2024/25 Rally Programme

As you are aware, Ian Carter has kindly offered to put a rally programme together for us, for next year, and to say this has been a challenge would be a massive understatement. We have had rally venues used by the Centre for many years no longer being available to us, and it is a very difficult task, as anyone that has held the Rally Sec role will be aware, to get new venues. Ian is planning that the Programme Presentation will be just that this year, as he intends to have the 2024/25 rallies tied up by then. I am aware that a few marshals who had agreed to run rallies in 2025 have yet to complete the confirmation paperwork. As we thank Ian for all of his hard work, can I ask you to help him, help us. At the same time can I ask as many as possible to book onto the rally 13-15th September, to see what Ian has managed to achieve.

Annual General Meeting and Rally

We have the AGM soon, which as you all know, hopefully, has been changed from Westcliff High School to Mayflower in Billericay. We are still holding a rally to coincide with the AGM, which will include a meal and entertainment. Can I ask you to please book onto the rally/attend the AGM. It is your chance to have a good time with fellow ralliers, and find out what is going on in your Centre, and even have the chance to shape it. Anybody that would like to join the committee is most welcome, it really can be good fun, and rewarding, so please talk to, or contact me or any other committee member.

Charity Year.

As previously published, if anybody would like to nominate a charity to benefit from the funds we hope to collect next year, there are just a few days to get your nominations into Janice Price. The committee will review the submissions and make the appropriate announcement at the AGM, so another reason to attend.

I have worked tirelessly this year to make this Centre the best it can be, in the current circumstances. I am now asking for your support . . . . . . . . and thanking you in advance.

Look forward to seeing you soon

DAVID
