AGM Report


The main thing to happen at the AGM was the election of a new President due to the passing of previous President Mr. Gordon Rigg. However the Presidency will be staying in the Rigg family with Gordon's brother Donald kindly agreeing to serve as President for what will be his second time. Other news, Paul Dawson stepped down as Secretary after 20 years of continued service. A massive stint in office, all the best to new Secretary Mr Chris Barker. However we are still without a Chairperson. This position has now been open for quite some time and is greatly needed.
 
Hopefully 2005 can be another successful year for Walsden. Up the Villagers!
