The Chairman Writes The timescale for preparing and printing our Newsletter means that I’m writing this at the turn of the year. That always makes it appropriate to look both backwards and forwards. Looking backwards, we’ve had a successful year in terms of all our events – talks, outings, social events and holidays. This is entirely due to the people who’ve put in all the hard work organising these things (and of course that doesn’t include me). Yes, we cancelled a couple of things, but as a Committee we don’t look on that as a failure – if we don’t keep offering different things we can’t find out what you want. Sadly, also looking back we’ve lost the services of our Newsletter Editor John Haworth. John felt that his health meant that he couldn’t guarantee to be available, and he has reluctantly stepped down. Our thanks to him for his help. Fortunately, his predecessor Venn Goldsack has come out of ‘retirement’ for this issue, while we train a replacement for John. Looking forward you’ll see that we continue to provide you with a wide range of events – we try to find something for everyone. You’ll also see from our Secretary that we’re recommending opening the membership of PANT to non-National Trust members. The experience of other groups is that previous fears about this move have proved groundless and we hope you’ll support it at the AGM. Also looking forward we’d like to try something new. At the moment all our Committee have specific jobs – Secretary, Treasurer, Events Coordinator etc. We’re looking for someone to join the Committee for a year, to be the voice of the ‘ordinary’ member (although I know that many of you are far from ordinary). Just come along to our six meetings each year, and tell us what you think about what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. A fresh perspective might help us improve. If you’re interested just contact me. Meanwhile, thank you all for your support and I hope you continue to enjoy belonging to PANT. Les Wright 1
