## **Burton & District Beekeepers Association** ## **Chairman’s and Secretary’s Report 2023** A joint report was provided by Dave Coates - Chairman. ‘2023 started off like any other year following the previous season which was an exceptional year for bees and honey production. The association enjoyed a steady membership of around 130 members and several beginners’ courses were successfully run by Suzanne, our Education Secretary. Unfortunately, Sam Hampton had to withdraw from committee as his wife’s illness had returned. We were joined by Geoff Childs as Club Secretary and Paul Revell as minutes secretary. Both took a keen interest in the running of the association. It soon became apparent that Nick Colby was struggling as our treasurer and after further discussions, Nick resigned as treasurer. Paul had had experience of club accounts running his local scouts group accounts and offered to take over as treasurer; after the usual setting up problems, Paul has settled in very well. It was obvious that 2023 was going to be a year of change as Hamish Lowe, Susan Coates, Nigel Cox and Suzanne King all decided to resign from the committee. We needed some new blood to step up and be counted. We had a good start with Geoff and Paul, but we needed more help to enable us to achieve our goal with the apiary. I am pleased to say that Deb Proctor, Sam Cotter and Joe Payne came forward to join us and have taken on various jobs vacated by the leaving committee members. I would like to thank Sam, Nick, Nigel, Sue and Suzanne for all their help and enthusiasm while they were part of our committee, also to welcome Geoff, Paul, Deb, Joe and Sam. Wishing you all a happy, successful and prosperous 2024 season.
