December 2017 Meeting At this meeting, we had our free draw for the Christmas Hamper, each meeting that a Member attends they are issued with a free raffle ticket, the more meetings a Member attends, the more tickets they get to go into the pot. All the Member s tickets then go into the pot for our December meeting when the lucky winner will receive a Hamper donated by our Club sponsor Vista Workspace Solutions Ltd. This year Mr & Mrs Grigg won a beautiful Marks & Spenser Hamper which I hope they enjoyed over the Christmas period. On the Friday night we also had a buffet laid on for everyone who came to help put up the staging for the following day s Show. Putting up the staging was quite long winded but with more helping hands this would have been much quicker which meant we could have started on the buffet a lot sooner. Our Open Show on the Saturday was a fantastic day with 426 entries with only 19 no shows (407 on the day), up from the 292 we had the year before. The venue can only be described as perfect, with many visitors making positive remarks about the Show, venue and what a great Club Dagenham CBS is. So well done to everyone involved, with special thanks to: - The Members who run the kitchen - Barry, Fran and Val, the Stewards on the day - Mick Pegram, George Philpot, Scott Wall, Dave Mason, George Harbour, Show Secretary - Steve Wallis, Ken Grigg on the door, Fergus McCarthy for working so hard selling raffle tickets and Bill Wallis & Lee Wallis for staying behind to tidy up and put the staging away. Well done to you all for your hard work and dedication to the Club. You all helped to make a positive impression to everyone who came to the Show at a time when the hobby is in decline. This helped to encouraged new members to join on the day.
