Andy Coates has stepped down as a Trustee and Chairman of the AWGB. Our Articles of Association state that the Chairman and other officers are elected by the Trustees and I’m very pleased to let you know that the Trustees have voted for me to take over as Chairman, Sam Webber (formerly Secretary) to become Vice Chairman and Mike Glover (formerly General Trustee) to become Secretary. These changes take immediate effect.
The AWGB owes Andy a debt of gratitude for over 10 years of dedicated service including the last three as Chairman and it has been a pleasure for me to work with him over the last 7 years since I joined the committee.
On behalf of myself, my fellow Trustees and committee members past and present, and the membership in general I would like to thank Andy for his hard work over this time. We shall miss him but we wish him well in his well earned rest from matters AWGB.
Dave Atkinson
Chairman, AWGB
