Valued Members, good morning.
As you are all aware, after many years of dedicated service Chris Gray has decided to relinquish the post of Club Secretary and is moving on to take the position of Chairman, recently vacated by Ken Fellows who will move to Club President. Following on from the recent ballot the post of Secretary will now be taken up by myself.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Chris and Ken for their hard work and dedication to the Club over the years, most of which goes unheralded and unnoticed but is vital and necessary for the continued running of the Club, enabling the membership to continue shooting year on year. Though Chris is moving on to fill the role of Chairman I will without doubt rely and call upon his wealth of historic Club knowledge and experience in the coming months. My depth of shooting knowledge does not encompass all and every aspect or discipline practiced at the Club, but I am keen to understand and support, even if not a participant in each. I have a great enthusiasm for all shooting sports and my wish for the future is to promote shooting in all forms and disciplines whenever and wherever possible and to continue to grow the Club and its activities as my predecessors have done in previous years.
I would also like to give recognition to the work carried out by The Committee and other volunteers which I greatly appreciate and am looking forward to being more actively involved.
Clive Mildner
