Re: [doc] Secretary Retireing

["dmckelv12" <dmckelv12@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you Chris, for getting me 
started in the club. I haven't been in any other car club before 
this and wouldn't want to be!!
Although i haven't been in the DOC that long, i can see what an 
amazing club it is, with alot of enthusiastic and friendly members 
and some truly awesome cars!

I wish you all the very best for the future (and parnham palace)
