Back in early 2014, we took on the mantle of Regional Organisers for the Club's Cotswold Region. During that time we’ve enjoyed the privilege of helping keep the Region on the road, so to speak, and making it relevant to R31 members. Now, after more than 5 years as ROs, for various reasons, we have decided to hand over the Region’s organisational reins.
We’ve always thought of ROs as party hosts, ensuring that everyone feels welcome, is catered for no matter what their tastes, and can join in the conversation. Irrespective of the diversity of members’ interests and lifestyles, there’s no doubt that R31 has a strong social culture. Hopefully, anyone attending an R31 event would agree. The steady increase in members participating in R31 events since 2014 has given us not only great satisfaction, but also a great many good friends.
As from tomorrow, Alan Armstrong will be taking on the mantle as R31’s RO. Although Alan may be new to some of you, he’s had a long and distinguished history with the Club, both as a director and register secretary. We hope you’ll join us in wishing him well and supporting him as you supported us. As for us, we’ll be focusing on some personal projects. That said, we’ll still be attending R31 events, and helping out now and then.
So, as the Morris Marina of time fails the MOT test of eternity, and the dappled donkey of fate ambles towards the abattoir of destiny, our iPhone calendar reminds us that the time has come to hand over the keys to R31. Before we sign off for good though, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to you all for turning up, supporting our events and being such brilliant party guests…. and friends over the past five years. Sayonara chums.
