After the AGM on 7 June, the winner of the Switch Trophy was announced.
This trophy is awarded to someone outside of the committee for special service to the Club, the recipient being decided by the previous three winers.
This year's winner is Rajan Adhikari. Rajan, who has already made his mark on EHHPS by throwing himself into club activities, and winning this year's Panel of Prints competition was given the award for his ever present willingness to help in any way possible.
The EHHPS AGM took place on June 7. As is usual the existing committee stood down. The majority put themselves forward for re-election, with two exceptions:
Paul Mason stood down as President at the end of his three year term. Phil Dean was elected as the new President.
Karen Helle stood down as Secretary. As no-one put themselves forward there is currently a vacancy for this key position.
The new committee therefore comprises:
President: Philip Dean
Secretary: Vacancy
Treasurer: Dennis Durack
Competition Secretary: Emmanuel Papadopoulos
Portfolio Secretary (External Competitions): Amanda Wright
Programme Secretary: Kristin Mason
Membership Secretary: Dennis Durack
Publicity Secretary: Paul Mason
Exhibitions Secretary: Jane Arnold-Forster
