AGM Report November 2002 - Chairperson
Another year has passed with little problem for the NEC.  
The fall out from foot and mouth has left many teams with a reduced load this year, but as the countryside returns to normal, I expect to see most of the events return. The 2001 season was almost a non event for many teams in Yorkshire and the home counties where the restrictions were at their worst, keeping some events off the calendar this year.
With membership always on the minds of the NEC, a publicity day was held at Fulwood, near Preston in Lancashire. Manned by Alan Derrick and myself, we surprised the shoppers at the ASDA store in Fulwood. I believe it essential to try to create teams in areas where none exist, as well as maintain the services to existing members. I intend to run two such publicity days during the 2003 season, one is already under development at a site in Wiltshire.
The REVCOM website continues to expand under the control of Gary Stainburn. We are making ever more use of the internet in the running of the organisation, and you can access the information even if you do not have internet access at home. Many phone booths are being equipped with internet  access, and motorway service areas nearly all have internet booths now.
We continue to be on good terms with the RA, due to our professional use of the airwaves. I must both congratulate teams on their correct use of the PMR system and ask that future PMR use continues in the same professional manner. 
Finally, my thanks go the NEC members for their unstinting hard work and support over the year, without this support my job would be impossible. 
May I take this early opportunity to wish you and your families all the best for the festive season. Watch out for the Christmas competition on the website!
