Dear Stowmarket Beekeepers,
As the activities we undertake for our members increases we are finding the workload is building on our Committee members. In 2018 three members of the committee had to stand down due to other commitments and we are now actively trying to recruit new members to join the Committee. One area where we are particularly stretched at the moment is local shows. We have a lot of invitations to attend local shows and display Bees and related products, but are unable to take up these offers simply because we do not have the resource to man the show stands.
If you feel that you would like to get involved in the organisation and running of Stowmarket Beekeepers, or can help with one specific element of the organisation, like shows, or the club apiary, please get in touch with our Chairman, 01449720491 in the first instance, for a chat through what is involved
Thanks
Regards
Richard Martin
Chairman 2020
