EHS Committee Members 2019 - 2020
Winter 2020
2019,
our
centenary
year,
gave
us
the
impetus
for
new
exciting
events,
and
a
big
vote
of
thanks
is
due
to
all
those
who
contributed,
especially
our
committee:
Daphne
Tomsett,
Susan
Sinnett-Jones,
Jan
Butler,
Colin
Beale,
Chris
Shaw,
Richard
Suter,
Shiraz
Jamal,
Michael and Faith Ponsonby.
Our
AGM
is
on
Thursday
20
th
February
2020
and
we
are
looking
for
new
committee
members
to
replace
those
who
are
retiring:
we
need
a
Show
Secretary,
Chair,
Treasurer,
Secretary
and
committee
members.
EHS
membership
is
currently
380
households,
about
500
people,
and
yet
we
struggle
to
find
people
to
take
over
from
those
of
us
have
been
working
for
the
EHS
for
many
years.
Please
think
what
you
can
offer
and
put
yourself
forward
–
we
don’t
want
the
society
to
collapse for lack of organisers
.
The
Hut
is
transformed!
Colin
Beale
and
Richard
Suter
took
over
the
running
of
the
hut
in
the
autumn,
and
over
the
Christmas
holiday
have
changed
the
layout
of
the
store
making
it
lighter
and
more
accessible
–
come
along and see for yourself!
I
have
wanted
someone
to
increase
the
publicity
of
the
EHS
for
some
time,
and
I’m
pleased
to
report
that
Brenda
Abbott
has
taken
this
role
–
see
the
Village
Magazine PO9 for her first contributions.
I
hope
you
enjoy
our
forthcoming
programme
of
talks,
trips,
open
garden
mornings
and
the
Show,
make
good
use
of
the
Hut
and
volunteer
to
help
make
2020
a
good
year for the EHS
.
