The Comrades Club 2000 to 2002
Godmanchester

In March 2000 saw the end of another era with the then President, Mr. Lou Livesey, retiring. Mr. Livesey had performed various roles in the club and with his expertise in running the White Hart PH he was a valued member of the management committee.
Mr. Roger Gladding was elected unopposed to take over from Mr. Livesey. However in December 2000 Mr. Roger Gladding resigned as president and as a result Mr. Alan Suter took over as acting President with Mr. Fred Carter as acting Vice President. As a result of Mr. Alan Suter taking on his new role he stated he was unable to carry on the role of Social Secretary but Mr.

Tony Fechter offered to take this role on and this was accepted by the Committee. In April 2001 Mr. Alan Suter & Mr. Fred Carter were elected unopposed to the office of President and Vice President. This meant that Mr. Alan Suter had carried out all roles within the Club except Secretary and Steward.

The Queen celebrated her Jubilee in 2002 and the Club hosted a number of events with the aim of raising money for Charity. The final figure was £2,600 which was split equally and on Saturday 8th June cheques were presented to the ‘The Laurels’ ( a children’s home for severely handicapped children) and The Woodlands Centre ( assisting people with Cancer). Mr. T. Fechter had announced his resignation from the position of Social Secretary effective from July 2002. The committee took over the running of the social side but in ???? 2002 Mr. M. Cooper took over the position as Social Secretary.
