The past year has been a very busy one for your new Executive Committee  and very much a learning experience for myself as your President. 

To follow in the footsteps of our former President was a daunting task and one that I could not have managed without the support of many people including my Executive colleagues.

We have made significant strides in respect of acquiring new members and there is great potential for further expansion in many areas of the world.

I am always mindful of the fact that our sport is almost completely reliant upon volunteers who give up their time so willingly for the sport which they love.  They should never be taken for granted as tug of war could not survive without them.  I welcome this opportunity to thank them sincerely for that input.
