LEAGUE OF FRIENDS ANNUAL REPORT 2006/2007
There have been a few changes this year at the League of Friends.
The committee accepted with considerable regret the resignation of Graham Thomas, who had been our charismatic Chairman for, well, ages! Good luck, Graham!
Our new Chairman is Keith Gittens, and he is settling into the job very well indeed.
The new Deputy Chair is Helen Cassels, and she is Scottish. You have been warned!
Anne Price continues to do sterling work as Treasurer, and Ray Wrangham, as Secretary, is invaluable, as we wouldn’t remember what we’d decided without his taking of the minutes.
We have had quite a few donations this year from various organisations and from clients and their families. Some large, some small, but every penny greatly appreciated. One enterprising gentleman saved up all his £2.00 coins for us! Thank you, sir. A bitter- sweet donation of £235.00 came to us from what would have been spent on flowers at Mr Allan Douglas’ funeral. Thank you to the Douglas family and friends.
The Quiz night in Port Talbot at the end of last year raised a fantastic £563.00, and well done all you who took part in the Sponsored Walk, which brought in a massive £1,129.00! The Caledonian Market in May took in £192.00, after expenses. Thanks to all who helped out.
Now for a few items that we’ve spent money on.
Swansea Domino has a new drum kit at a cost of £109.00, and Bridgend Domino has eight new guitars to practise on.
We have contributed £500.00 to the 10th Anniversary Domino Fair to be held in August.
Catering for last years Sponsored walk, the camping trip and the Christmas Party totalled almost £550.00. (Burp)!
Child safety seats are being bought for the Neath mini-bus, and we’re hiring a large coach to bring lots of people to the Domino Anniversary Party in August.
There have, of course, been other incomings/outgoings, but we hope this gives you a general idea of our work this last year.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT THE MANY EVENTS BEING HELD
AND ASK THAT YOU KEEP PUTTING YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS.
