PRESIDENT’S REPORT – June 2026

The time is getting nearer …. our AGM will be held on 7th August at Cardiff RSL Club

We are looking for ‘new blood’ to join the committee.

Volunteering is a rewarding experience. Everyone is different, but personally, it is the feeling good about myself and knowing I can help other people. Plus, it’s about being around all of you, happy, smiling, friends and that part I intend to continue for as long as I can.

The Club’s Constitution says I have to step down.

A new President has to be found, and as a personal appeal to YOU, I urge you to consider taking on the role and help us with our succession plans.

It is your opportunity to contribute to our club and community and to ‘feel good’.

I am available for you to talk to for more information

Please talk to your friends and encourage them to volunteer in some capacity; we can always use the extra help.

Please complete it and return it to our Secretary, Wendy Smith, by 31st July

Barry Keen
President
