The HDCA AGM was held tonight. Roger Keely has stepped down as President with the thanks of the Committee for many (beyond the five year term) years in office and his massive contribution. I was voted in place.
Nigel Hepworth and Alec Ward remain as the Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Tony Gilpin steps in as the Junior Development Officer, a new role to co-ordinate junior teams across the league and into County. The Committee structure was beefed up to support the sudden expansion of clubs and numbers in the area. The future is looking bright.

Look on LMS please.

It's not relevant to the thread, Mark, for the reason that what you are writing is more closely related to a Tweet - from the Cambridge dictionary "a message... to let people know what you are doing, thinking, feeling, etc" and a "quick short message".
An internet forum is (from Wikipedia) "an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages". Since what you have posted is unlikely to stimulate a resultant conversation really your posts would be better located on Twitter, or a similar platform, rather than here.
