The
‘Ladies’ plan for their centenary
THE LKA committee has re-elected the following officers: Chairman,
Mrs Ferelith Somerfield; Vice-Chairman, Mrs Ann L Wynyard and
Secretary Miss Sybil Churchill.
Mrs P M Grayson has retired from the committee after many years’
service. The postal ballot, with a 58% return of voting papers,
resulted in all the members standing for re-election being returned.
In addition Mrs L F Jupp was also elected to the committee.
At the AGM the Chairman reported a loss on the 2001 show - the
committee having taken a deliberate decision NOT to increase
any fees or charges, in spite of increased costs, as a concession
to the disruption of the show scene caused by the Foot and Mouth
outbreak. However, for the 2002 show, some increases were inevitable.
The AGM re-elected Mrs N B Down as President and Mrs P Davis
and Miss J M Gill as Vice-Presidents and Mrs P M Grayson was
also elected as Vice-President. Owing to the death of Mrs L
Collins, the office of Honorary Treasurer was filled by the
election of Mrs B B Roderick.
The committee is now planning for 2004 - the year in which the
Association will celebrate its centenary - its charter of incorporation
by the (then) Board of Trade having been granted in March 1904
- the previous foundation having foundered in its early years.
It is hoped to produce some form of pictorial record to mark
the centenary and the committee would be most grateful if anyone
can lend material appertaining to the past history of the Association.
Photographic material which can be copied would be especially
welcome. Any items loaned will be carefully safeguarded and,
of course, returned. The Chairman Mrs Somerfield, or the Secretary
Miss Churchill will be pleased to accept offers.
