North Wales & Cheshire section stand-in rep

1 Reply

Hello everyone in MZ land
I am happy to announce that I am back in the committee but this time as the North Wales & Cheshire section stand-in rep.
You might remember that I was previously the Section reports coordinator but stood down and now it is done by the lovely Shea McQueen.

As you may or may not know, Terry Hyndman took a step back from this position and our previous chairman graciously was covering the post unit now.

As we can all agree James is a great member of this club and serves us well in everything he does but I offered to step in and he was happy for me to do so.

Sorry to say we still haven’t found a monthly spot to settle down in but after talking with a few members we are going to stick with The Golden Lion in Holt (what was previously the Peal O Bells) for now at least.

I hope that I can inject some new blood and ideas into the section and hopefully get some people attending again.

When the weather picks up a bit I will be looking at doing a ride out to end up at the meeting spot.

All ideas for the club section are welcome, as they say no idea is a bad idea, or something like that anyway.

I look forward to seeing those that can make it to the meet in the coming months and doing some writing for the section meets again but this time someone else can edit my work.
