In February we held our AGM, the conclusion of our second successful year. Sadly our founding President, Pauline Brown, stepped down to allow new blood to take the reins. She has been a very popular president and done an amazing job over the past two years, tirelessly working on our behalf both behind the scenes and “front of house”. Fortunately, she is staying on as a committee member and has been persuaded to take up the role of Treasurer.
Wendy Tiernan, our vice president and temporary Treasurer has also stepped down. We will really miss her and the valuable contribution she makes to the work of the committee.
I am happy to report that Caroline Rathbone was elected to succeed Pauline as our new President and also that Bernice Mansell has joined the committee.
