He thanked everyone for their continued support..

Next on the agenda was the election of officers with Matthew Colman (president), Jeremy Vallance (treasurer) and Ashley Colman (secretary) re-elected with all other officers and committee members elected unanimously. Gareth Hodgson was elected post meeting as chairman.

Matthew read the highlights of secretary Ashley Colman’s report. He reported a particularly difficult season at senior level, but the future looked increasingly bright with a burgeoning colts and junior section a credit to the club.

Jeremy Vallance was thanked for his efforts as outgoing M&J chairman. Debbie Gill will take over the reins with her usual enthusiasm and vigour!

The Vixens continue to be a breath of fresh air and their presence has had a real positive on the atmosphere at the club, bringing a sense of fun to everything they do. Hugh Barrett and Dom Byrne are stepping down with mother and daughter team of Jan and Taylor Wetherall taking up their positions.
