POCS 2010 'Passing on the baton'

Posted by Alex on Apr 30, 2009 in Featured Articles | Comments

Well not quite.. Some of you maybe aware that the Pride of Central Somerset 2010 page appeared online yesterday afternoon. There has already been speculation on what will be happening with the event and what our plans are. Well i hope to shed some light on the situation.

Presently i am not planning on returning the the UK until September. Major plans for the POCS 2010 would not really begin until about this time. Sounds perfect huh? Well not really. I don’t know how long i will be staying in the UK when i return. Its highly likely i may change my return date and its also highly likely it will be a flyby visit because i am in the early stages of  setting up a new life here in Nova Scotia, Canada.. but who knows!?

Many of you have probably heard that i was planning on finding another director to take my place and after a lot of thought and consideration that is what i have decided to do. It was something that i was planning on doing for many months now. This is not to say that i wont be involved but i need someone who is ‘inland’ to take some of the strain off me and do things that only can be done on the ground over in the UK. I promised i would not let this project drop and i plan to stick to my guns.

Next question would be i guess “Have i got anyone i mind?” The answer is yes. Several people spring to mind but i don’t want to pick anyone at this early stage. I have decided to open this opportunity to everyone. If you think this is something you would be interested in then please continue to read, if not.. thanks for visiting.
