Mrs Scott has continued to be invaluable for her advice and support as Chairman of the Committee and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you! I apologise for not standing at the Ploughing Matches this year. Unfortunately, Richard has been seriously ill over the summer and has spent a considerable amount of time in hospital and I very sadly lost my dad unexpectedly 10 days ago. I am also still supporting Olivia through her recovery. Therefore I have been unable to take on any outside commitments.
