Well, after our AGM we are now all set for 2011.

We have had a good year with two very successful displays and an ever increasing membership. We even picked up a new member at the AGM, which is a first in my memory!

This year has seem our website expand and increase in popularity. We have re-branded the club with our new logo and have started a proactive drive for new members. Our membership has spread far and wide in Northern Ireland, not just in the Greater Belfast area. We have examined what our membership wants and tried to deliver this. It seems to be working.

Our move away from Cregagh Library as a location for our meetings was troubling after 24 years in residence there. Our new home in the Cregagh Community Centre  has proved popular and allows us room to expand if required.

Our Willowbog Workshop in November was a great success and our members are keen to enhance this relationship. Plans are under way to build on this in 2011 so watch this space for updates.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Committee of 2010 for their hard work this year and, as they all signed on again, I look forward to building on this in 2011.

Regards

Ian

Chairman 2010/11
