Annual Awards
for 2004
The awards for 2004
were presented during the monthly meeting held on January 24th 2005.
Paul Rainford was once again re-elected as Club Chairman, and members
voted for Mike Apps to continue in his role of Club Secretary, a position
he took up as Mark Benwell stepped down late in 2004. Many thanks for
all your hard work, Mark!
Mark Gatter was re-elected to the committee as Public Relations Officer,
and he would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the lack
of recent website updates. Alas, circumstances will also prevent him
from attending the next few Club meetings, but fortunately his photography
tasks have been assumed by Jim Walmsley. Mark will continue to update
the website as frequently as CDs from Jim allow!

of the Year
This is
awarded to the person deemed to have most benefitted the club

no pic... serves him right!
