Welly painting  A very pleasant Sunday afternoon in May was spent painting wellies in aid of President Sue’s charity: The Timmy Mason Trust.  The trust was set up in memory of Timmy who died from a rare form of cancer in October 2011.  Money raised by the charity goes to help other children suffering from cancer either for holidays or for travel in order to benefit from treatment. Churn Fun Day 13 May 2012 Many many thanks for all helpers at the event, plus all the donations of items and cash donations. The weather was so great and  with lots of people present we had a very successful afternoon—— Our total was £345.07.  This was a fantastic amount, and such an increase on last years, £280.

Members  installed the president for 2012 – 2013 at its Annual General Meeting on 4th April at the Royal Agricultural College.  Sue Dennis was given the chain of office by the retiring president, Anne Brooker, who chaired the meeting. The club’s new president-elect is now Marietta Crockford, and the new vice-president is Margaret Headen. The Immediate Past President, Anne Brooker was warmly congratulated for her leadership of the club over the past eighteen months. The new president Sue Dennis faces a busy year ahead as the club will host the South West & Channel Islands Regional A.G.M. in September and is also arranging the performance of the Caldicot Male Voice Choir for the town in the same month. A wide-ranging review in the annual reports of the club’s activities in an eventful year was appreciated by members, and cheques were presented to the club’s two charities
