Passing of [log in to see names]

By the time you receive this month’s copy of NMC News, you will have heard about [log in to see names]‘s untimely death and may have even been to his funeral. I am still shocked we lost [log in to see names], who has shaped mousing for many of us. He was a judge with an acute eye for detail and, to me, a friend who helped me get set up when I first joined, and never kept his substantial knowledge to himself. I remember on various occasions, a mouse being produced out of a Maxey, to help me establish a new line. [log in to see names] would have kept that mouse for me without me even asking for stock, he was that kind of person. I have passed on condolences received through various channels to [log in to see names] on behalf of all members. Rest in peace, [log in to see names].

Donation Received from [log in to see names]

The NMC’s funds are up by £55 by donation of the change [log in to see names] kindly waived and donated to the club. Thank you very much!

Lapsed Membership

There are a few members who are not online and hence do not receive membership renewal emails. I have rung everyone who lapsed and was not notified otherwise, so everything should be up to date. The recent dip in membership has come about because a lot of members are still on the old October to October rotation and some of those did not renew this time around. I am sure some will come back and membership will recover.

NMC Ballot

[log in to see names] is enclosing the ballot paper with this month’s magazine. Please make sure to enter your votes and post the ballot back to [log in to see names]. (I am posting the ballot to members who do not subscribe to the magazine).
