A Kenley resident now for six years but based in the locality for some 30 years. I have helped source material and compile the last two editions, but this one is more self-generated – with various help as you will read in this edition’s 32 pages! I (or more directly my wife) volunteered my services as Editor as we both did not wish to see the demise of the magazine. Instead my desire is to help develop the content so that it continues to be an interesting read for all the community. With our AGM on the horizon, this issue covers the regular Notice of the Meeting and the accompanying reports, i.e. the Agenda, Notes and the Summarised Accounts. You know our magazine regularly lists local organisations – their regular activities and contact details - so that those interested can make an approach / join a group. In this edition we focus on Kenley Sports Club and the various Sections, and in future issues I plan to ask other groups for their club’s resumé to help promote their activities. If there are articles or local events that you feel should be publicised within these pages, then please do not hesitate to contact me; my details appear on Page 30.

During my time with Kendra over the past 7 years, there has been a natural turnover of Committee members and Road Stewards - people leave the area, and circumstances change. I too must now succumb to changing circumstances, and will be stepping down from the Committee at the AGM. Together with other recent changes, this does leave Kendra rather short of personnel. So, I must once again appeal for help from the membership. We have reached the point where we are unable to fully function unless help is forthcoming. We have been successful in recruiting volunteers to produce the Kendra magazine, and I hope that under the new editorial team this will now go from strength to strength. However, we do need to fill several important vacancies on the committee: Committee Secretary, Minute taker, Web Editor and Chairman being the most pressing. If you can help with any of these roles, please do get in touch. Kendra is a not-for-profit organisation, run by volunteers. We all share the aim of making Kenley a better place to live, and improving our community. If you would like to be involved, there are many ways you can help: e.g. by becoming a Road Steward, by helping out on projects, or by joining the Committee. Kendra is an active organisation and can make a real difference e.g. the conservation work that was done on the Wattenden Pond, and the recently introduced Smart Water packs to deter burglars. There are many more things we would like to do. But, without your help, these things will not happen. If you want to make a difference, and get involved with your community, please do get in touch. We really do need your help. Yours sincerely Chris Stanley Contact [email protected] 5 Annual General Meeting and Notes The Annual General Meeting of Kendra will be held in the Kenley Memorial Hall, Godstone Road, Kenley, on Tuesday 26th April 2016 starting at 7.45 pm, with a short reception from 7.30 pm serving wine and soft drinks.
