This blog is a tad critical at times. However I am no 'armchair warrior'. Over the years I have been a parish and district councillor, chaired the steering group that published the first community plan for my borough, a director of a housing association and involved with numerous voluntary bodies - often becoming an officer of the organisations.
Some people object to my sniping at them. Tough.
So now to trumpet blowing time! Last October I retired from the Board of the Bridge Trust, a local charity providing accommodation and support to single homeless people. My thanks to Bob Wykes, the Chairman of the Trust for this in his introduction to the annual report.
I would like to formally pay tribute to our Vice Chairman who retired this year, John Hopkinson. On behalf of the Board I would like to thank him for the commitment and wisdom he has brought to the Trust over many years.
I have never been one for chasing awards, as previous blogs are witness to, but it is a pleasant feeling, amidst all the negative comment fired at me and about me, to receive recognition for ones efforts.
KENT COMMUNITY ACTIVIST: acerbic, carping, caustic, curmudgeonly,critical, cynical, grumpy, moaning, sardonic and plain speaking.
