This really is momentous news, as since its formation in 1963/64 Billingshurst has only ever had 2 Secretarys! :o :o The first was Percy Barnett, who formed the League himself in 1963/64 as an offshoot from Horsham, following an acrimonious AGM when he was ousted for political motives. Percy kept the job until 1989/90 when well into his 70s. He had been Secretary/Treasurer for 26 years, as the clipping below will testify:  Peter Gibbs took over and has performed the job seemingly effortlessly ever since - for a total of 21 years. It will be a great shame if he is giving up, although he works for the same firm that I was at, and I can fully understand if he is finding it increasingly difficult to balance the stresses offered by both work and leisure. He will be a difficult act to follow. |

As Tommo says this Will be a massive change to the League Peter has given many years service & will be a very hard act to follow.
Maybe they will have to elect a full committee to cover all the jobs Peter did.

Will await news of developments from tomorrow's AGM with interest.
My very best wishes go to Peter Gibbs for whatever way he decides to go.

At last nights AGM John Tidy was voted in as Peter Gibbs successor and I wish him every success in the position :)
Steve Eely was voted onto the committee to cover the shortfall :)

Our website shows that John Tidy was Vice-Chairman: does his appointment as Secretary/Treasurer mean that he has now relinquished this post?
And if so, who is the new Vice-Chairman - or has Steve Eely leapfrogged all the normal committee members?
Is Peter to be honoured for his sterling services?
Thx, tommo

Tommo
JT has been replaced by Ding Johnson in that role. Also Peter Gibbs was voted in as Hon Vice Chairman as well ;)
Steve Eely to be a member of the committee only!

Thanks Jim,
Don't understand how you can have two Vice-Chairpersons, though !
Surely Pete would be voted a Life Vice-President ? :-/

Perhaps you would like to add the photo to the website
Many Thanks
