The P&F held its annual general meeting on Tuesday night and many thanks to those who were able to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

It is my pleasure to announce that the P&F has a new President, Mrs Penny Newton, whose daughter is in Year 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Penny bravely put up her hand to take on the President\u2019s role after reading my “ad” in BTGG last week, and after some encounters with me at the Welcome Drinks and subsequent meetings.\u00a0 Already I am impressed by Penny\u2019s preparations for the role, her attention to detail and her willingness to work hard.\u00a0 I cannot thank Penny enough for volunteering to steer the P&F for the next two years, and to bring her own very substantial flair and abilities to the P&F.\u00a0 Please do congratulate Penny when you next see her and thank her again from me.<\/p>\n

I would also like to thank Sam Brampton, Alex Lock and Nicole Sorby who have all now stepped down from the P&F.\u00a0 Alex has worked extremely hard over the last almost three years running the Treasury, putting rigorous processes in place and keeping on top of the accounts, not to mention being the very last person to leave the Festival on Forbes late that night after all the finances were complete.\u00a0 Sam is the outgoing Company Secretary and has been keeping us all informed of where to be when, taking copious notes and preparing minutes etc, and always with a smile.\u00a0 Nicole has done a wonderful job as Secondary School Events Co-ordinator.\u00a0 Many of you will know her from this role \u2013 she answers your emails, helps you with bookings and gives you all the advice you need, and always promptly and with good humour.\u00a0 Our deepest gratitude.<\/p>\n

Your P&F for 2020 is:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
