Andrew Jarrold - thanks and recognition

After several years on the D & K Committee and as our Vice-Chairman Andrew has advised us that, with effect from 31 July 2024, he will stand down from the Committee. His wish is to remain as a committed member of the D & K but he feels he does not now have sufficient time to provide sufficient availability to be adequately supportive of our efforts going forward. We welcome this ongoing interest.

On behalf of your Committee I am sorry to lose Andrew. His wisdom, experience and commitment to our activities has been greatly appreciated and his efforts will be sorely missed. The contribution from Andrew and his Mother before him, as a previous Chair, have been substantial.
