Bozena Benton of SI Sutton Coldfield gives us an update on the work of her club in the last few weeks as part of our occasional series “Club Focus”.
I cannot believe that it is already October and that this will be my final Regional President’s Message to you all. Thank you for reading my words and for supporting me during my year as your Regional President.
The 2022 Annual General Meeting of our Region took place in the immediate aftermath of the death of Her Majesty The Queen on 8th September. Our meeting was held – as planned – on Saturday 10th, as the overwhelming desire of members was to come together and celebrate her life and legacy, and also to honour her memory through our service and Programme Action work.
In her Regional President’s Message – July 2022, Judith describes a very busy and successful month of fun and friendship when we were able to get together on several occasions, and catch up and make new friends. It’s been a very enjoyable month.
“Judith would like a summer garden party at her home, she has a lovely garden and would love to use it for the benefit of the region. Do you have anyone from your club to help?” “Of course, I said, my presidential year is coming to an end, I shall volunteer.” To be honest, I thought it would be easy! Marisha Place of SI Lichfield & District, tells the story…
In the latest of our occasional series Club Focus: Around the Wrekin, Hilary Knight, President SI The Wrekin updates us on the activities of her Club in recent weeks…
This is my sixth Regional President’s Message. I can’t believe that I am over half way through my year as Regional President and there is still so much more I want to do! My recent conference at Brocton Hall Golf Club gave us plenty of ‘food for thought’ as well as a much needed opportunity to meet up in person and enjoy each other’s company!
After months of planning our Regional Conference 2022: Progress Not Perfection, finally took place on Saturday 14th May 2022. It was a truly beautiful spring day – warm and sunny – which showed the delightful location at Brocton Hall Golf Club to its very best advantage.
As I write my Regional President’s message for April we have just celebrated Easter, a time of new beginnings and feelings of renewed hope for the future. This is also the time when as clubs we take on new roles following changes at our AGMs. We should embrace these opportunities and fresh challenges as we evolve and move forward. We can learn so much from one another not only within our individual clubs, but by sharing good practice and supporting other clubs within Midland Chase Region.
Club Focus is a new feature on our website which is designed to help Clubs learn from each other and find informal opportunities to collaborate if they wish. Our very first Club Focus turns the spotlight onto SI Cannock & District – who’ve not only been welcoming new members, but have been putting the emphasis very firmly on friendship, fun and good mental health.
