1974

The 1974 committee was not one to sit back as arrangements were made for the Club's entry in the Sittingbourne Carnival, theme of course being sports and social activities; other members were arranging the sports day at the Hollow (Murston Primary School sports field) whilst others had their minds on the bonfire evening , which was held at the A.P.C.M. site. There were discos, women's coffee evenings, tuesday nights to play volleyball at the Rowena Sports Centre - no time at all to get bored, and Dave Barrows was writing a newsletter every six weeks to keep up with the information for members. Father Christmas was once again out visiting member's children on Christmas morning, sack in hand.

The committee comprised of Rusty Burgin , Chairman, Ken Austin Secretary, Colin Gunn Treasurer, Brian Bartlett, Ray Oddy, Les Cousins, Fred Garwood, Dave Barrows, Mick Lidstone Membership, Lawrie Vanlint - what an active committee they were. By the end of 1974 Colin was able to report £200 in the bank and 450 tickets had been sold for the Christmas Raffle.
