Hello im new here from herne bay 
Hi, I have just register on the site after returning from a drive to try and find the club, thought I would pop in and get a feel for the club. I arrived to find the doors locked and no cars.. date is the 8th august. I might have tried the wrong building. Could you please let me know if I was in the right place. I drove up through the village followed the road to the left as i passed the pub and it was on the left, next to a drive with an electric gate.
Regards
Nigel.

Have started a web album courtesy of Picasa (from Google). You can view my Leonardslee stuff here amongst other things.

Have posted a few photos from our wonderful daytrip to Leonardslee. The weather was brilliant and everyone had a smashing time with plenty of photographic opportunities at every corner. Thanks to Roger and Mary for organising it.

Chairman's Chat 2007

Chairman’s Chat
There is never enough time; the club year is already drawing to its close and for a host of reasons this is only the second time I have put pixels on the screen.
The influx of new and returning members at the start of the season was a great boost to the club and importantly we remain the truly integrated happy club of yesteryear; but with more bite viz 5th in the Handley Shield. Print and slide standards are demonstrably stronger than ever with the increased competition. But we do need to sort out a selection system that reflects this in external comps. Give your thoughts to Ian.
A few officers have done sterling service over the years and are hanging up their ‘hats’. A massive thank you first to David, quite the most level headed, efficient and dynamic secretary in the whole world, keeping me in line endlessly. I hope next year we see more of his own work, original and thought provoking, though sometimes undervalued by hidebound judges. Who cares what they think anyway, ultimately your work only has to satisfy you.
An impossible person to replace instantly, but we need to recruit someone who can grow into the job guided by David’s excellent precedent.
Also really sad to lose both Hilary and Chris who came to us when the club was pretty small and galvanised us in so many ways. They would be welcomed back with open arms if they ever reconsider giving their several talents an airing. More victims of insensitive judges at times. Do they train out humanity from judges or did we just get a run of less tactful ones early season?
Ian Stockton, whilst remaining as web master for both us and the KCPA, has decided to give up his part of the programme secretary role.
So we need to find a new club secretary, a membership secretary, treasurer and publicity officer at the very least. I have not heard of any other resignations, so will assume all others are happy to remain in post. If not let David or myself know, better still find a replacement.
But we do need some volunteers, don’t be modest, YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU !
As you are aware the AGM looms (and that’s exactly how it appears). If we are to make progress efficiently at that meeting we need to have proposals up for consideration. This will avoid endless desultory circular conversation under AOB when we all need to get to the pub or home.
Do you have any thoughts on
1. The ever rising numbers of competitions, does it need a rethink for 2008/9 (next years are already committed.
2. With dwindling slide support do we need the same number of Print/slide competitions
3. Should we reconsider having two sections, general and advanced, to avoid too many really depressing scores for less experienced members (although I got a 10 the worst score of any member the entire year)
4. Following from 1 if we were to retrain competitions at same level should we drop the Knockout slide and Chairman’s shield or abandon the Best of the Rest so as to include the new Digital and Digital AV already planned for next year in future years.
5. Since our first application to Awards for All (except genuine claimants) failed, we have to decide whether to purchase a digital projector and computer from the club funds which are a healthy £2000, but would leave us probably with a float of around £ 500. Continuing borrowing of them is not an option since the competition secretary (me ) has no longer the same access to them as before and would need access to them for 2 days setting up Imagecomp pro, for the competition day and the following day to print out results.(as a minimum)
Any proposals to David
Can I remind everyone to let Penny know if they will attend the annual dinner and award presentation on April 25th at Stile Bridge.
Ian still has 2 places on his Big Cat day April 29th and Glyn would like to have a measure of the support for the Brands Hatch plans.
Would it be an idea to organise a club outing there in 2008?
Ever active Glyn also has to get at least 12 /10 of us who are up for the barge day. Confirm a place quickly.
And finally remember the more people offer to help, the more we do, and the less a small group feel lumbered (pleasant though this may be at times)
