I would like to think that it was the particularly bad snow and cold that kept members away on Tuesday night. There were just 16 of us but once again an excellent speaker talking about the Street Paster scheme. The low attendance I know raised a few eyebrows but I don’t think it was connected with the fact that 4 long serving members have now left during my term of office! Some members did write to me with some concerns as to whether or not the resignation reasons were linked. I did, therefore write to all members confirming that they were not connected and urged existing members to try and get new recruits. I have kicked that off by bringing along a young friend of mine and hopefully he will join. That will lower our average age a bit.
I have also decided to donate £1000 to COSMIC which I have now done. We shall have to see how fundraising goes if I am to increase that during my year. The Heart of Kent concert preparation is really underway now. We had another meeting at Dennis Fowle’s house. I have taken responsibility for the poster and programme. The poster is now ready for printing I have managed to get a company to do the programme for nothing. I need to get the rest of the club on board to sell tickets soon. Dordrecht preparations well underway. We are going by coach- 10 couples at present with martin and myself going by tandem. More later on that no doubt.
