Well that’s summer almost over. What funny old weather we have had.
I can’t believe it is a year ago that I last wrote on this page.

Yet again East Midlands did us proud at the National, participating in all aspect of the event, from the home craft, boules & talent night. We managed four Trophies this year. Next year National will mark the Clubs Diamond Jubilee (60 years) it will be held over the weekend of 21st-26th May 2020, at The Three Counties Showground Malvern.
East Midlands members turned out in force to the invitation rally at Uttoxeter, enjoying the racing and the entertainment provided.
Bakewell this year again attracted lots of members, but the weather was appalling, so it put a real damper on the rally, many deciding to leave early.
At the summer ball & charity rally at Mansfield, we danced the night away to Steve Clements, and Champa had her lovely hair shaved off all for the good of the MacMillan charity. At this moment in time Champa has raised over £2000.00. What a great effort.
August Bank holiday saw us at Cromford, what fantastic weather, the days were filled with wall to wall sunshine, and evening with entertainment via the Stewards, not forgetting ‘Manzini’ the magician, who I think was overwhelmed by the non stop banter from us. Val we never did find the rabbit.
Now is the time to start thinking of joining the Committee, or nominating a member who has put in that little extra at the rallies, also nominating a Charity for next year which if it is chosen you are expected to lead. This will be my last report as Chairman, I would like to thank you all for your support over my three years in office, and hope you will give the same support to my successor.
