    President’s Report at the MRBS AGM When I was elected in November 2007, two other new members who joined the Executive were Adele Ashby as Vice-President and Robert Watson as Member-at-Large. They have assisted us very ably with their work during what has turned out to be a very busy year. Our worries that the MRBS did not have enough person-power to sustain itself were unfounded as a renewed core group rose to carry on the society for another term.

We thanked Randy Deffett and outgoing members for their great efforts to lay the foundation for the Malvern Red and Black Society and Randy’s leadership since 2004.
