After having planned to stand this Autumn as vice-chairman in our county association the night came around and I discovered I was the only one standing for the position, and more worryingly, the chairman was standing down due to time and wanting to concentrate on another role in the association.
After a lot of deliberation in the room I agreed to stand for the chair for a reduced period (1 rather than 3 years).
I was heartened by the support in the room to assist me in the role. I asked for help as I had planned to 'learn the role' as Vice - Chair for a couple of years first but instead face a baptism of fire.
It's really good to know the other beeks there were so vocal in their offer to support me and I am really looking forward to helping the county association, and branches, more forward and grow.
If anyone reading this is/was/has been an association chair, I'd love to see what you set as your aims and objectives.
All ears !
and as for the bees....all packed down for winter, fed and next job will be vaping/oxalic over Christmas if the temperature drops.
Plenty of work to do in the workshop.
