The National AGM
The club was generally in favour of the motion to spend ÂŁ500 of each Area’s money on an “Inspire” style event. Against his better judgement, Joe Gurney agreed to attend the National AGM on the club’s behalf.
Other news
Joe Gurney was named as the winner of the “Adrian Pembroke Trophy,” for service to Barking & Dagenham Plus (mainly for the creation of this website and his work as PRO). 🙂
There is also a B&D Bulletin, courtesy of Richard Leach, downloadable from the Events page.
Our programme of events has been updated. Between now and April, we will be organising activities such as Ice Skating, Pool, trips out to the Cinema, Restaurant and Theatre, and various games evenings. Also, on the weekend of the 21st to 22nd of April is the national holiday at Brean Sands in Somerset, for which we are now taking bookings.
Please see our Events page for more details.
Barking & Dagenham Plus members took part in the Anglia & South East Area Plus Pool Tournament this Sunday, held at Namco Funscape in Romford. This is an annual event which always draws a large crowd of young men and women from all over East Anglia, Essex, east London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Steve Poysden of Redbridge eventually won the tournament, whilst Sanya Preston was the highest placed member of Barking & Dagenham, getting as far as the semi-finals.
Barking & Dagenham Plus’ chair, Miss Gemma Crader, 22, said:
“I love events like this! It is great to be able to come out and have fun and meet so many friends from across the area – and sometimes from across the country as well. Plus often organises sporting tournaments like this as well as sporting events, so there is always something for everyone.”
Sanya Preston, of Barking & Dagenham Plus
