Yvonne Billows retired from being the ESSC Secretary after too many years to mention! At the ESSC Championship Show was presented with a rather large garden ornament of a 'Buddha'. The presentation by the club chairman Graham Rogers
Apparantly she had had her eye on this, so was delighted to receive this as a gift from the club for all the many years of hard work and dedication.
Yvonne is now a much appreciated member of the Committee with the baton handed over to Angela Mitchell. We wish Angela well in her new role and also to Jackie Weyman the clubs new Treasurer.
