The abrupt ending of the ECAA AGM due to adverse weather meant I was not able to fully express my sincere thanks to the Individuals and Clubs who nominated me for the position of President of the County

This I now do and also extend my grateful thanks to all those at the meeting for their unanimous acceptance.

I deem it a great honour to follow Tom Major as successor to this Office and, during my term, will do the best I can to continue the extraordinary high standard he set.
