Newsletter re AGM & Visit Details - Very Important

Greetings Everyone,
Welcome to my final newsletter as Secretary, here’s hoping it will be as factually correct and entertaining as its predecessors!
As previously advised I will regretfully be resigning at the AGM on the 24th of February at Crossroads 7.30 p.m. start. However, even more regrettably, after 15 years as Treasurer Avis has decided to stand down as well. Please let me know as soon as possible please if you would like to offer yourself for either position or to serve on the Committee. To date and somewhat predictably there have been no offers! Irene has asked me to pass on to you the importance that these posts be filled otherwise the Association cannot operate. The Grizzly will be on the March. 11th.
The Association have volunteered to act as marshals once again. Gerry Dawson is kindly acting as co-ordinator but please advise me if you are available to marshal the event as soon as possible. Even if you have confirmed verbally I need these offers firmed up please. We get well paid for this event and I had hoped that we could run two points, but I suppose that everyone else has the same thought!
The date of the visit to Thury has been arranged for Friday June 8th, returning Monday June 11th. This will mean an early start around 4.00 a.m. as we have to sail from Portsmouth because as to date the Barfleur from Poole is not in service. If you are interested in going on the visit please let me know as soon as possible. Sweatshirts and polo shirts can be ordered and I will be looking into fleeces as well. I think the corporate look had a great effect on our visitors in June and I would like to think we could impress when we visit. Finally if you have anything you wish
to be placed on the agenda for the AGM please get back to me ASAP. There will be a bar and light
refreshments and an interval quiz amongst all the other joy. Thank you all for your patience and I
hope to see you at the AGM full of ideas.
Regards,
Glyn.
