Supplementary Information

The Elizabeth Mills Centre under the Chairmanship of Ann Hill is now going from strength to strength. It is being much better used by both senior citizens as well as outside societies and clubs. The number of meals served has risen substantially, since lunches have been available 5 days a week. This has enabled improvements to be made to the Centre whilst expenditure on overheads has been contained. There is generally now a very happy atmosphere prevailing in the centre.

Although forced into early retirement 10 years ago, I am probably busier now than when I was working!! Outside the Wyre Forest, I am the Chairman of the Rover P6 Club. The Rover P6 celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2013 and the 20th Anniversary of the Club. My wife, Janice also keeps me busy! We have two married children and five grandchildren living in Worcester and Esher, Surrey.
