At the Association AGM held on 16th June, members elected the new Association Officers for the coming year. They welcomed Jessie Milne as the President, Cllr. Richard Butroid as the new Association Chairman; Cllr. Roger Patterson as the Deputy Chairman (Political), and Sheila Bibb as the Deputy Chairman (Membership & Finance). Sheila was also confirmed in her part-time role as Organising Secretary to the Association.

Thanks were given to both Stuart Kinch and Tracey Coulson who stood down from their respective roles after what has been a trying few years. Their dedication and efforts on behalf of the Association have helped enormously in getting us to our current, stable position and they will be missed. Meanwhile the new team look forward to building on the strong foundation we now have.
