New Group President to Take over


We are very pleased to announce that Lord Henry, Earl of Arundel has agreed to take over from his father the Duke of Norfolk as our Group President this year.
 
We wish to extend our grateful thanks to Lord Edward for the help and support he has give to the Group since he became President at the age of 18. During his presidency he was chair  of the group that organised the building and raising money for our current HQ and has attended our Group events and supported by allowing us to the use of the Arundel estate for camping and fundraing events.
 
We hope that Lord Henry will be able to attend at least a couple of events this year including our  Annual General Meeting/Group Fun day in Arundel Park to be planned in July.
