LETTER FROM THE FPCMAG CHAIRMAN MICHAEL MOORE
Due to health issues, I regret I have to retire at the forthcoming AGM in May. It has been a very enjoyable time as Chairman and I shall miss it very much, but after nearly eight years leading the Charity, the time has come for someone else to take the reins. As we hope to have a new base when the new development is completed in 2019/20, this would be a good time for someone new to lead the Friends. I shall be around to give any advice to the new Chairman if he/she requires it.
During my term as Chairman, I have had the privilege of meeting many people especially you the members who have kept the Friends alive and kicking, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyalty.
I have met all the staff of the old Museum and Art Gallery and worked with some of them on a volunteer basis. I also have sat on numerous outside committees and met many volunteers from those organisations.
My relationship with Nicola Moyle, Head of Arts and Heritage, has been a privilege and I shall miss our one to one discussions, but I am sure we shall cross paths somewhere in the ether. It is here that I thank her and her staff for all the help and assistance given to the Friends over the years, and I am sure this relationship will continue with the new Chairperson.
I wish all the best to the Friends which is now in its sixty seventh year since its inauguration in 1951.
Fond wishes
Michael
P.S. As well as myself retiring, the Vice Chair David Hamer is also retiring, so two important posts to fill.
We are also looking for someone to do our Press & Publicity. If you feel you can spend a little time covering this post, then do let the Hon. Secretary Linda Wilson know. You can contact her on splish.splosh@hotmail.co.uk
