  • The AGM took place at Kenilworth on the 12th May. A full report will follow, but here are some items :-

    I hope someone will volunteer soon. As Bernard said the main responsibilities are to chair the AGM,
    sort out any disputes, and present the awards at the AGM and at the Lightning tournament.
    Anyone who would like to take on the Chairmanship should contact Phil Wood.
