President 2000

A Message from the President
Thank you for electing me as President of our Society for the year 2000, I feel greatly honoured to be presented with the Chain of Office. On looking back through past Year Books there have been Presidents with many years of membership, knowledge and service, which makes me feel like a relative newcomer.
I am a proud founder member of the Northampton and District Carnation Society. Our Inaugural Meeting was in 1990 at which Arthur and Audrey Robinson attended putting us on the right path and giving lots of encouragement. Fred Smith also helped tremendously in the early days.
During my year of office I will do all in my power to promote the Society, attending many shows up and down the country, meeting many old friends and hopefully making new ones.
During this Millennium Year is it possible for each one of us to recruit one new member with young people in mind as they are essential for the future prosperity of our Society.
May I take this opportunity to thank our hard working Council and I will endeavour to give them my full support during the coming year. With best wishes to you all,
Jim Linnell
