Looking back at my SECRETARY’S CLIPBOARD of twelve months ago I stated that the Covid-19 pandemic is still here and unlikely to go away anytime soon. How true those words were. Even your Hon. Secretary is currently testing positive for Covid-19. I hope you all had a pleasant Christmas, and that 2022 so far has not been too bad for you.
The Member’s meeting of the 4th of December went ahead as planned with our Chairman, David Winnie, and myself, providing the two main displays that were Zoomed out to other members. Sadly, only nine members turned up at the Royal for the meeting, and fifteen joined us via Zoom. Still, the feedback on the two displays was positive and further large displays, shown via Zoom, will probably feature in future Members’ meetings.
By the time you read this the Member’s Competition Day would have been and gone, and thank you to all those members, new and old, who entered the competitions. I am aware that our new Competitions Secretary, Nick Martin, has been busy getting the entries sent off to the judge.
The next big event is the Member’s Weekend at the Three Swans, Market Harborough from the 22nd – 24th April 2022. You should have received your booking form with the December edition of Les Iles Normandes. If you do not have a copy, please contact Gerald Marriner.
Proposed forthcoming meetings:
22nd – 24th April 2022 Member’s Weekend Meeting, Market Harborough
9th July 2022 Annual General Meeting & room auction/displays
24th September 2022 Member’s Meeting – Topic to be decided
Currently, all meetings are held at the Royal Philatelic Society London, 15 Abchurch Lane, London, EC4N 7BW commencing at 11.00am. Tea and coffee is available from 10.30 in the Member’s Lounge.
