The Club was formed in 1983 by Frank Miller and has grown from strength to strength. He and his committees over the years have created a friendly club giving a warm welcome to artistes, new members and visitors. Until the end of October 2003 Frank and his wife, Olive, worked tirelessly for the club. Both have been committee members and Frank has held various offices on the committee including Membership Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman. He also produced the Club Newsletter until August of 2003. It was early in the 2003 season that they decided to retire. Frank has not been too well over the last few winters and now in his 80s he really does deserve a well-earned rest. At the A.G.M. Frank handed over the reins to Bill Wilkins the new chairman. Later in the evening he and Olive were presented with Silver Photo Frames containing photographs of their two young grandchildren. They have also been given Life-Membership and Frank was made a Joint President with Vic Day, another founder member.
4th December 2005 ... We are sorry to
announce that Frank Miller passed away peacefully, at home in his
armchair, on Saturday. He had a heart
operation many years ago but kept chugging along - although he was
looking very frail at the last meeting just a few days before. |
