Important Announcement As many of you may be aware, our Chairman, Paul, and Rally Officer, Jane, have resigned from East Midlands committee following comments made at a previous meeting. It is sad to see them take this decision after all the hard work they have put in over previous years, but it was their decision to stand down. This should not affect the remaining rallies this year, which will continue as per the program. Sandra Goddard has agreed to step up to ‘Acting Chairperson’ until the next AGM. It was always my intention to step down from the committee from the next AGM, but this means we will be short of (at least) two senior committee members from October. We are looking to co-opt at least 2 new members to the committee before the AGM to take over the position of Rally Officer (with immediate effect), and assistant Secretary who would be willing to shadow me over the coming months and take over as secretary from the AGM. Please don’t think “somebody else will do it” and risk the East Midlands Group folding after the AGM due to not having a full committee. It is important that we fill these two positions as soon as possible. If you feel you could help, or want further details of what the jobs entail, please contact myself or any other committee member. Bob Smart East Midlands Group Secretary Rally Stewards Wanted IF WE DONT HAVE STEWARDS, THEN WE WILL HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO CANCEL RALLIES. We still do not have stewards for many of our rallies. It is not a difficult job and in some cases is only a matter of parking up the motorhomes on arrival. if you are willing to have a go but feel unsure, we can arrange for you to share the task with a more experienced steward. Please speak to a committee member if you would like further help to decide if you could do it.
