There were two retiring members and two newly elected councillors together with four re-elected councillors now on the Regions Council for a three year period.

The Chairman Norman Hemsley thanked the retireing officers Cath Henson for 15yrs  and Roger Bishop for 31yrs of service to the Region.

Presentations were given to both and Cath and Roger.

Cath gave her thanks and said that she’d enjoyed her years on Council, but it was now time to stand down.

The Regions Officers meeting took place at Thoreseby Park North Nottinghamshire, this meeting is where all DA and Section officers meet to discuss new idea’s and exchange views on how they think their voluntary jobs can be successfully done.The people who attended were voluntary PRO’s,Site Officers,Web Managers,Secretaries,Chairpersons,Youth Leaders and many more.

We were very fortunte to have in attendance The Club’s Chairman Mr Keith Jackson,Hon Treasurer Mrs Sally Birch and Chairman of Communications Committee Mr Steve Birch.

Each one of our guests from the Club gave very interesting talks: Keith ~ realationship between the Club and Regions,Steve ~ Communications between the club and it’s members,Sally ~The Club as a bussiness or not whichever it may be

All the presentations made were excellent and very interesting but Sally’s talk really made our members think about out “Club” in different ways.

Central Counties Region would like to say thank you to our guests for their presentaions,Trent Valley DA for hosting the weekend and to the officers and members from all parts of the region for attending.
We hope to be organising another officers meeting next year in another County of the Region for both new and established committee members.
