NEWS May 2010


AGM on the 22nd of May at Cafe Kaos was attended by the usual enthusiastic and positive group of members.

The day went smoothly although as usual dragged on due to far to much talking and catching up going on as we stray off the topic depsite our best efforts to stay on it!

Prize giving followed and nice to see the awards getting spread around a little.

A few changes to committee this year, have a look at the contacts page to see who they are. a big thanks to last years committee for all there hard work and time and a big welcome to this years bunch of volunteers!!

Kidding time will be upon us all again soon of course, always such an exciting time of year.
