New President Elected and Thanks to a Friend
At the AGM on 6 March 2012, Mr Bruce Hayhow was elected unopposed in the role of President of our Association. Congratulations to Bruce.
The role was vacated by Ian Grant after 14 amazing years at the helm. Ian's matchless contribution to the Association over the years was recognised on the night with a speech from Life Member, Terry Kelso and the reading of letters from other Associations and Governing Bodies.
The evening concluded with a unanimous vote to make Ian a Life Member of our Association.
The Association cannot thank Ian enough for his efforts, which are recognised nationwide. Ian will continue to support our Association with his skilled lecturing on the Rules and we thank him for that.
Some of the correspondence received for Ian can be viewed using the links below.
