AGM
On Wednesday 26th March the club held it’s Annual General Meeting preceeded with a Bring & Share Lunch. This was held at the excellent Blean Village Hall, central for travel with a good bus service for those wishing to use public transport. The Bring & Share as usual produced a varied choice of food both savoury and sweet, catering for all tastes. The meeting was well attended and despite the ‘quiet’ repose of the members was very lively.
Roger King, who delivers a very detailed report on the Footpaths & Rights of Way to the club, also gave an Eulogy in connection with the death of founder member and fellow footpath fighter Gordon Sensicle, who sadly died at the Age of 91 on the 11th March. Gordon served on the committee for many years then in the role of President. He was a tenacious fighter in helping to keep footpaths & rights of ways open much to the chagrin of landowners, businesses, and many authorities. Everyone knew Gordon right across Kent, if he thought it was wrong he did not hold back in his opinion. He was very successful within his role being one of the first ‘keyboard warriors’ in fact he could have invented it. His talents within his undertakings knew no bounds and he attended many meetings, be they Council, fightback groups or business for which walkers everywhere are thankful for all his successes.
