A Message from the Chairman

I received a call yesterday from Allen Howard to say that due to the slow progress in recovery of Joan they have decided they can no longer consider caravanning, and as a result they have now sold their caravan.

This is very sad to receive such news from such loyal long serving members as they are now celebrating membership for 40 years.

A more enthusiastic, caring and hard working couple is such a sad loss to the Club, Joan a Committee member for 9 years and currently a Club trustee and many will remember the very many enjoyable Rallies Allen and Joan have marshalled among them some very special ones that will bring back many memories for those lucky enough to have attended them.

We give our best wishes to Joan for a good recovery and Allen has promised to keep us informed.

They will become Honorary Life Members of the Club.

Ron Ward Chairman
