At the AGM next year the posts of Secretary and Walks Secretary fall vacant, the current occupants of the post having done as many years in the role as the constitution allows. These are key posts in the running of the London Group which need to be filled to enable to group to carry on as it is doing presently, and we would welcome nominations for these roles.
With our Newsletter Editor having stpped down from this post, as recent iternations of this newslelter haver made clear, is also vacant and ideally needs to be filled as soon as possible.
With Chris Blackwell having stepped down from organising the Founders Challenge after this year's event we are also looking for somebody to take over organising this event, This is not a committee post, although the organiser will be asked to attend some meetings when necessary.
