[Club Chairman (Reserve)]

Hopefully this will be my last post as WSCC Chairman and by 6.30 tonight a new encumbent will be in place       ......... Paul Edden.    

I have been involved with the WSCC for over 20 years now from a member to AO to Club Sec and then Club Chairman and I just have to say its been a pleasure and an honour to have worked alongside and with so many good people.

It hasn't always been without its downsides and have had to undertake some unpleasant jobs at times but there have been far more positive happier days that outweigh them.

The club has changed a lot in the 20+ years thanks to the many hard working committee members that have contributed so much ........... all voluntarily and the spirit amongst members is exceptional ........... if Carlsberg made a club .... this would be it.      

Just like to take this opportunity to remember some folks no longer with us: Roland Garratt (ex Memb Sec), Carl Fantham (ex Memb Sec) and Allen Parkinson (a gent and a star)

and not forgetting some old rogues still around that have helped so much: Jerry Holcroft, Ron Siddle, Mike Smith, Steve Robinson, Dave Kilvert, Neil Willis, Tom Green and of course the current committee team - a top bunch of professional people with the WSCC in their hearts.

and a final thanks to "The Family" you know who you are        

However, the bad news is I'll still be around (I'm not emigrating) and will be attending as many WSCC and Speed Series events as I can, only this time without any stress and to enjoy myself and the WSCC Spirit

Thanks

Mark

Mark,

I've know you for a lot of the 20 odd years you've been involved with the club and my words can not do justice to the time and hard work you have put into the club.

All I can say is thank you, I believe that the club is forever in your debt.

Best wishes

Rich

Does this mean will get to see the dark side of Mr M. Stanton in future, firing off snarky posts in the boardroom and sending anonymous cut-and-paste venomous letters in the post?  

Thank you for all your efforts Mr Chairman, Mr Edden has rather large shoes to fill and I'm sure all we poor plebs and peons wish you both well.  

[Mark Stanton]

aw schucks ........ yep it means I can post with my personal opinion        

Paul has his own shiny brand new set of shoes not an old worn out pair

I don't know you Mark, but I've been around for about 11 years now and I do know you have done a great job.  This is a superb club and sincere thanks for steering it - very much appreciated.  You should be proud of what you are leaving to your successor.  Enjoy your 'retirement'

Thanks for the excellent work, Mark - the fantactic state of the club is a real testament to your input.

Chairman Stanton and Emoticon Master retires , an unbelievable 20 yrs of pizz taking finally comes to an end  

Thanks Mark for all the goodness and light you have handed out over the years  

All that hard work and you still dont look a day over 65 must be a lesson there somewhere

Mark,

Just echoing the comments made by others. The club wouldn't be what it is today without your help I am sure.

now, how will you fill this void

[Rusty Nuts]

Done a great job with the club adds to the pleasure of owning the car, would like to add to all the above comments whenever I have spoken to Mark always pleasant and helpful.

All the best to Paul,

And best Wishes to Mark.

The freindlyness of this club is a testament to the chairamns skill.

Trust me when I say it isn't easy to get the balance right and Monsuier Stanton has done it.

Thank you Mr Chairman for your services.
