Club Officers 2019/2020
The ANNUAL MEETING in April is always a time to reflect on the past and look forward to the coming year. Outgoing President Gill was thanked for her total commitment, enthusiasm and leadership with particular reference to her concentration on ‘all things Bilston’. Members have enjoyed a good year of fun and friendship, whilst helping many people. Incoming President Jenny received the chain of office stating that her chosen charity is The Samaritans with Mental Health being at the fore front. She is looking forward to an enjoyable year. Other senior officers appointed included Barbara as President Elect and Cherril as Vice President. To mark her 50th wedding anniversary to Roger, Ann had brought wine which made the meeting flow! Thanks and Congratulations Ann & Roger.
