30th September 2020
We have today passed 2,000 members.
Membership Secretary, Kath Auton said: “This is a tremendous milestone. It is quite remarkable to have added so many new members this year when most of our activities have been cancelled. The greater our membership, the more we are taken seriously. We are very grateful to all our members for their support, whether they joined in 1976 or today.”
It took over thirty three years to reach one thousand members, to double that has taken less than eleven years. In a year when our Festival and our Walking Festival have been cancelled, our boats have not been running, our promotional trailer has not been out and Hollingwood Hub had its shutters down for 103 days, this is an astonishing achievement.
There are lots of reasons why people have continued to join, but most importantly have been the submission of our Planning Application and David Smith’s 3½ marathons run for our 2027 Restoration Appeal, both of which really caught the public’s imagination.
