In This Issue: FROM THE PRESIDENTThe count down has begun, and the season is upon us. I would like to thank allthe Committee who have been busy behind the scenes making sure everythinggoes smoothly.
2016 is my final year/term as President. It will be my 9th year and it is time forsome new blood, which in the 2016 committee there already is. I will not be“dumping” the reigns on anyone. The job of President has come full circle since Icommenced in 2007. Being President was an eye opener, being everywhere foreveryone. That has certainly changed with a strong executive in place, and theestablishment of new sub-committees for sponsorship, fundraising and now thejuniors. This will ensure that no one will be burnt or rather exhausted by the job.The saying “many hands make light work” could not be more apt in such a fineclub as Derwent.
There are a number of new initiatives, upcoming events and sponsorshipopportunities contained within this newsletter. They highlight how strong the Clubis and what direction it is taking.
So in conclusion I wish all teams the best of luck for season 2016 and lookforward to seeing all of you at some stage during 2016.
Jane Ansell
