Following the presentation of the 2015 AGM minutes and audited financial report, president Ray thanked all his members for the wonderful job and assistance that he had received over the previous year and the years that he had been president.

He announced to all that he was now stepping down from his president’s position due to he and wife Alison having sold their property and would be leaving the area shortly to return to the Central Coast.
