I am immensely proud and honoured to be selected as your Chairman for the coming year. My life, for nearly 40 years, has revolved around the Club and in particular the DA’s and Yorkshire Region. Both Pam and I have seen our own children grow up through the youth and now our grandchildren have experienced the great joy of camping with other young people in a safe and enjoyable environment.

We have met many friends along the way and enjoyed many memorable meets, including Yorkshire Region Meet, which this year will once again be held at Grange Park, Wetherby.
My chosen charity for the year will be the National Kidney Federation, run by kidney patients for kidney patients. This is something else I have been associated with for many years and which is close to my family.

Hopefully, I can help, support and guide the Region Council in its endeavours and our many active members throughout the Yorkshire Region. I look forward to the challenge and trust that you will all feel free to contact me at anytime to discuss matters related to camping.
