Chairman’s praise for team spirit
TRIBUTE was paid to the team spirit of Clitheroe Garden Club’s committee at the organisation’s AGM. Chairman Bill Gregson reminded the
40 members and prospective members present of the part played by all com mittee members, before thanking them personally for their hard work and team spirit. He said it had been a pleasure to lead such a team. Special thanks was given to Mr
Ernest Manning, who had served on the committee as its willing, hard working “dogsbody” for quite a number of years and was now resigning due to other com mitments. He planned to remain “on call” if required. Mr Gregson also paid tribute to the
late Joan Brooks, who had been the club’s social secretary. Thanks were also given to people who
played other vital roles outside the com mittee by hosting events, serving at the sales hut and delivering newsletters. I t was reported th a t membership
cards had been issued to 137 househoids. Although the total was down on 2003, it still represented a strong organisation. During 2004 there had been nine
indoor meetings with a variety of speak ers, 40 openings of the club sales hut, two full-day outings, one charity event in aid of the North West Air Ambu lance, a coffee evening for show funds, a plant sale, the annual show and the club dinner at the Moorcock Inn. The secretary read out the financial
statement on behalf of the treasurer, who could not be present. The report showed the club in a very sound finan cial position. Members were issued with copies of the balance sheet. Plans for the year ahead and the speakers booked were also revealed. The election of officers for the coming
year then took place. Before nomina tions were accepted, members were reminded that the club belonged equally to all and th a t each member had an equal right to be nominated as officers. In the event, the six remaining com
mittee members were re-elected and another member was voted on to the committee. The meeting also decided to make a co-opted 12-year-old junior member a full committee member. The committee consists of: chairman.
Bill Gregson: secretary. Iris Gregson: treasurer, Carol O’Reilly: club sales manager, George Cowgill: membership secretary, Kathleen Sharpies: financial adviser. Bill Gorst: member, Vincent Potts: and junior member, Deborah O’Reilly. Following the business side of the

meeting, members were invited to wine tasting and nibbles. Peter Spencer had organised the wines and Iris Gregson had made the nibbles. The tasting took the form of four

courses - fish, meat, sweet and cheese. Each table was presented with a tray containing seafood canapes, spicy beef samosas, fruit tartlets and cheeses. As each wine was served, members
were invited to eat the appropriate “nib ble” to go with it, while Peter gave an explanation and history of the wine. Peter and Iris were applauded for their efforts.

a blue Peugeot 406 parked in Station Road, Whalley, and escaped unseen with the ash tray, which contained loose change.
