NEWS by Christine Bone
We held our 41st Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 24 September 2019. Eva Rogers, our President, chaired the meeting and welcomed everyone to the meeting. She also thanked the Committee for all their hard work over the past year. She announced that Judy has finally decided to retire this year after 12 years as our absolutely, marvellous chairperson.
The minutes of the previous AGM held on 25 September 2018 were read and approved. All members of present committee agreed to stay on and that a new chairperson would be chosen at the next committee meeting in October 2019. We do need new members to join our committee. Judy said that the Club had a very good year, especially as we celebrated our 40th anniversary by planting spring bulbs around the village which looked wonderful in the spring. There was also a huge thank you to Peter Fullerton for being such a perfect host at the Club's 40th anniversary celebration party at his home in Yelford.
Judy thanked the present committee for all their hard work this year and that it has been such a pleasure working with her team. Eva presented Judy with a small gift, an 'Olivia' fragrant David Austin rose and a garden voucher, as a thank you for being such a wonderful chairperson over a period of 12 years. We look forward to seeing Judy at our monthly club meetings when she can relax and enjoy our meetings.
The meeting concluded with an apple tasting. Members brought along their home grown apples to taste. There were many different varieties which everyone enjoyed sampling.
Our Christmas Dinner this year will again be held at The Plough in Alvescot on Friday 6 December, price £29 per person. For more information please contact Peter Fullerton.
