I thought members would like to know that Jean Williams passed away on 8th December 2015, she was 75. Her funeral was last Friday. She died from an aggressive form of breast cancer.If you wish to send condolences to her husband Brian, his address is 9 Goodhew Close, Yapton, Nr. Arundel, West Sussex. BN18 0JA.

Best wishes,
Valerie Marsh.

Jean Williams was a member in the early days of North London. They lived at Woodbridge & she retired as treasurer in around 1996.They continued as regular members until around 2000 when they went to live in Spain. Poor health brought them back to the UK a few years ago. (Information supplied by Howard Randal)

Treasurer (again)

posted 2 Nov 2015, 01:16 by Ralph Burtonshaw [ updated 2 Nov 2015, 01:16 ]

The deadline has now passed for notifying HQ in Coventry of the name of the treasurer for 2016.

Kathy Giles (MCS secretary) has asked Kath, our current treasurer, to continue in the post until the group's AGM in April which she has reluctantly agreed to do. As a result of the poor attendance and lack of new treasurer the current committee feel that there is now no future for the group and will be retiring at the AGM.

We have only one meet scheduled (Old Warden) before the AGM and it that will now be cancelled. However Easter 2016 is an invitation from Kent group to join them in Broadstairs so we hope to meet lots of you there. Dave, our sites secretary, has put together a full program for 2016 but under the circumstances we do not intend to publish the sites list as we do not know if the group will still exist next year.

I understand that Kathy Giles will write to all members explaining the situation and urging that a new committee be formed at the AGM.

Treasurer

posted 3 Oct 2015, 01:05 by Ralph Burtonshaw

At the last NL&EA AGM in March it was announced that the treasurer was resigning and a replacement was needed.

Since then we have appealed in Waggoners Talk, on the website and in Facebook. We have had only one person show interest but he decided, on reflection, that we was unable to give the time required.

We are required to provide a name to C&CC HQ in Coventry by November and at present it looks as if we have no name to give them.

Attendance has been very poor for some time now and this year we ran 2 meets in celebration of the group's 40th anniversary which, despite free catering and professional entertainment, were attended by only a few NL&EA members.

It therefore looks as if the future for this group is very uncertain and we are unlikely to have either a treasurer or a committee next year so the 40th. year may well be the group's last.

Treasurer still required

How are you with figures? Do you fancy taking control of the group’s coffers?
Well our treasurer, Kath, is retiring this year, after 4 years in the post, so we need to find a replacement. The treasurer’s post runs from January to December so we need to get a new treasurer in place by November.
The good news is that the accounts have all moved on line now so it’s easy to get assistance from HQ in Coventry for any queries and we provide a laptop PC for your use. If you want to know more then please don’t hesitate to ask Kath or any other committee member for more details. This is a really essential post to be filled and if no-one comes forward the group will fold.

CANCELLATION OF MUSEUM OF POWER meet 18th to 20th Sept.

From Dave Ainsworth:

Due to double booking of the site by the museum I'm sorry to say I must cancel this meet. Sorry for any inconvenience but I made a firm booking back in April. Although MOP accept responsibility for the mix up it doesn't help us.
If you know anyone who intends to go can you please tell them.

Glad I popped in today to check the site!. See you at Clacton on Sea.

Photographs withdrawn

posted 15 Jul 2015, 05:49 by Ralph Burtonshaw [ updated 15 Jul 2015, 05:56 ]

The major web browsers have withdrawn support for the Adobe Flash plugin that was being used to display the group photo slideshows. Those with iPads have been having problems for a long time but this is now happening on PCs too.

Because of this it has been necessary to withdraw the link to the photographs.

I will look at an alternative but it will be time consuming and probably not done for some time.
