Text Box:   Resignation of Chairman   The Management Committee of MAB Juniors have reluctantly accepted the resignation of Darren Worrall (Chairman) from the committee. We are however pleased to say he will be continuing as coach for the Under 13’s. Darren has been on the Committee from the very beginning, and has been unfailing in his support of the club. He has put in considerable time and effort to ensure the club has grown and survived during the last few years.  His knowledge and dedication to the club have helped make the MAB Juniors the club they are today. The Club and Committee will miss him, and wish him all the best.   Appointment of New Chairman   Unfortunately Darren’s resignation means that we will need a new Chairman at the AGM scheduled for July. Until then David Rochford (Vice Chair) will be acting Chairman. As we have recently achieved Clubmark the appointment of anyone on the Management Committee now requires more formality and rules than previously. Any member of the club can put themselves forward (Member is any player over 16 or if under 16 their parents/legal guardian).  We will let you have more details in the May and June Newsletters.     Text Box: Don’t forget if anybody got new boots for Christmas to hand in your old ones, we can make use of them. If you would rather get your newsletter via e-mail, please let your team coach or rep know and they can organise this. If anybody has any ideas for fund raising activities, let your team rep know, we rely on funds for kit, equipment and activities for the teams. Know anybody who wants to join? Send them along to a practice session.   M. A. B on the web!! For all of you who want fixtures and information Meltham All Blacks have a website.
