Good afternoon,
As some of you may have heard I announced in our union executive meeting today that I will be stepping down from my role as Union President for personal reasons.
My wife Helen will also be stepping down from her role as recording secretary as she mainly took the role because I asked her to help me out.
I have already heard there is rumours that I’m going to jail or joining a cult or other random reasons for leaving this role.
It is much less exciting than that, and as I have stated it is for personal reasons and I ask that people respect that.
Both myself and my wife will remain in the role’s until we can have a vote for a new president and secretary which will be as soon as possible.
I will assist the new person in getting started in the job and show them the direction we were on should they chose to take the same path.
I do apologise to anyone who may be upset with me, sometimes life just doesn’t play ball.
I will say I have tried my best in the short time I have been in this role and will continue to do so until we have a new president.
Kind regards,
Barry Joyce,
Union President,
