President John was congratulated for passing the Working with Children Check.
 
Ian Cairns
Last week President Elect Ian Cairns announced to members that due to pending commitments in 2013/14 he felt that he would not be able to devote as much time to the role of President as he would like to, and therefore felt that it would be in the best interests of the Club to stand down and provide the opportunity to someone else. Ian is keen to take on the role at another time when he can see himself clear to give it 110% attention.
