Dear Friends and Colleagues, 8 October 2007
It is with regret that I must give notice of my resignation from the position of League Reporting Secretary at the end of this season. At that time I will have completed thirty years in one capacity or another for the Huddersfield Billiards and Snooker Association, starting as assistant to Leonard Oldham in 1978 and becoming full Secretary in 1981. Those thirty years have been a labour of love but, if I am going to be honest, the work has become, to me, a bit of a bind of late; not so much because of the work itself but more the time it consumes and I have always said that once it became a bind I would pack it in. It will be nice, in the cold winter months, to be able to say to my wife Eileen “How about a few days away”, at a time that suits us rather than work commitments and to go as often as we like. I hope you will understand and do your best to find someone enthusiastic to take over the position of LRS and I will give as much assistance as possible in making the handover a smooth one. I personally feel that we have one of the strongest and committed teams that there has been for some years and knowing that, has made my decision a little easier because, whoever succeeds me will have the support and experience of good people to enable them to take over with confidence.
Also, next year, I will be retiring from full time employment AGAIN and so, to make it total retirement, I will not be seeking re-election as President of the Association after my three year period in office finishes in June. It has been a privilege and an honour to serve as President but I am sure you will have no difficulty in finding a suitable replacement.
Yours faithfully
John Needham
