Track test committee was wasted that year.

We now look forward to our silver jubilee in 2010 and it
will be celebrated at Shepley over the weekend of 24th to 28th of June and
at this time its time to think of the members who are no longer with us and
made it possible for us to be a centre, Past Chairman Zena Pilmer and Bill
Warren who have past away, George Bolt who has given up caravanning and
Michael Mulroy who still caravans but we don’t see him much unless you go to
the national etc and its members like these and all the others who have
supported the centre over the years that have made it what it is today |
