President ‘s Blog 2019-2020
I wish all our members of 41 Club a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
As I write this report it is under 3 months until I hand over to President Elect Peter Good. Time certainly does fly by. This has been a year that I will certainly never forget, and I take with me some wonderful memories. I wish Peter all the best for his year in office. I have travelled North, South, East and West in the last 9 months, visiting many clubs, all different, but all with the same aim. This year I have learnt more about Robbie Burns, as I will attend 4 Burns Suppers this year namely Haverhill, Inverurie, Moseley and Christchurch 41 Clubs. The support so far this year from Board and Council has been wonderful with all members engaged in moving our great association forward. The hard work put in by The CAS 2 team has been an example of this and the Capitation invoices that Carl Smalley has produced is second to none and I look forward to seeing the rest of CAS 2 when it is unveiled soon and the website to follow. Recently we have joined the Young Ambassador Programme (YAP) and we will be welcoming an inbound tour of the UK later this year which will be the first. Our GB&I family members went abroad last year and had a great time as has been showcased in the magazine. The joint charity with Tangent has been the RNLI with the aim of purchasing 5 water rescue craft. The Rescue crafts will operate from the beaches saving lives. At present we have purchased 3 and we are heading towards a 4th. My grateful thanks to all in supporting this worthwhile charity. Our joint ball has already 240 guests booked in and we are very close to putting up the sold out signs. I thank all the clubs that I have visited for the welcome and friendship that has been shown to me on my visits. I look forward to the final busy 3 months. Regards Andrew.

Andrew MackerethIt was a great privilege to be elected the 74th President of 41 Club in Torquay at the National AGM. The reason we are here today is because of one man Louis Marchesi who had the foresight to found Round Table in 1927. His words are so relevant today. There are things we must do. There are things we can do and there are things we should do. Wise words which we can all adapt, adopt and improve. Archives
