23 Jul: Norfolk County AGM Chalk Farm CG hosted this year’s AGM, chaired by Vice Chairman Mike Jennings as Trevor Frammingham resigned as chairman earlier in the year. With only 12 CPSA members in attendance, the future of Norfolk CPSA was in serious doubt. Fortunately, the County CPSA was not disbanded as enough volunteers agreed to be elected to the Committee, enabling it to continue. This year’s Chairman is Roger Farman, with Mike Jennings as Vice Chairman. Treasurer is Steve Cross and the Secretary is Kyle WoodhallCross. Our thanks to them and the five other newly elected committee members.
