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!

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.

This year our theme is “Progress not Perfection”. As part of my year as Regional President I would like to have a lasting record of members’ personal views of our theme, and of course I need your help with this. So I have asked our three elected members – Val, Melanie and Jenny – to devise a to capture our members’ visual take on the theme of “Progress not Perfection.
