A Detailed History of Anderida Writers From the Year 2006
2006
The 2006 AGM was attended by John Bennett (Chairman), Peter Sampson, John Connor, Stella Freshney, Roger Hardman, Ann Botha, Tamara McKinley, Harry Pope, Elizabeth Baker, Dave Sykes, Irene Skilbeck, Moyra Robinson, Valerie Thompson and Sharon Searle.
The Chairman’s report stated that the main monthly meetings would continue to be held at the York House Hotel, and as there was little support for the subsidiary group meetings, especially the Shorties, they would be incorporated into the main meetings. Membership was up a little. The winner of the 2006 short story competition was John Bennett and runner-up John Connor.
John Bennett stepped down as Chairman and Harry Pope took over this position on the proviso that it was for one year only.
Other officials elected were:
Vice Chairman – Tamara McKinley.
Treasurer - Roger Hardman.
Membership Sec - Ann Botha.
Secretary - Stella Freshney.
Newsletter Editor - John Connor.
The Anderida Accolade was awarded to John Connor for his work on the Newsletter.
Ann Botha’s book ‘The Crumbles Story – A Tale of Eastbourne’s Colourful Heritage’ was re-published and on prominent display at Ottakers Bookshop in the Arndale Centre.
