| Thanks to John Hawkins |
Due to health reasons, John Hawkins has decided to step back from his involvement with our club. Our Chairman Alan Oliver would like to put on record his and the Committee’s thanks for all the work he has done for the club over 20 years, including running the website and setting up the Improvers group which is still such an important part of the lifeblood of the club. We are sorry to see him go.
