August meeting in Leicester

Our meeting in Leicester went like a bang with approximately 20 members and their family. Our new President chaired his ever first meetingof the Association and everyone agreed the first signs are encouraging and we hope this new executive go from strength to strenght. Our out going President, Dan Nwankwo, gave a thumbs up for the first performance and thanked ex-executive members who led the Association for six years or there abouts. One of the outcomes of the meeting is a reveiw of the constitution by a named individual, yet to be decided, the executive meeting an hour prior to everey meeting, a christmas party committee, led bt ANgela Chigbo and Nkechi Eneh. I will add more when l fidn time. Enjoy the pictures. We had fun!!!

24th May 2009 meeting

This meeting was very well attended with more than 20 members. The main agenda item was the election of officers and we now have the following as our Executive members:

President - Kingsley Ifudu
V.P - EMeka Okolo
Secretary - Gloria Oforka
AS.- Ngozi Okolo
Financial Secretary - Charles Oforka
Treasurer - Codelia Ojielo
Welfare Officer - Joe Enebe
AWO - Angela Ike
Provost - Codelia Ugwu

Our Former Chairman - Dan Nwankwo, led us for more than six years and he was examplary in his dedication to our Association. I cannot recall a meeting he missed bearing in mind that his job takes him all over the country. Many an association in the Uk have desolved or are in such tumoil disarray - our former Chair has played a great part in making sure that we are still going strong. The former Secretary - Angela Chigbo, has also done some good work and deserves our thanks. Every good thing comes to an end.
Let's hope that the new executive strengthen the Association and explore if there are any benefits to charitable status. We can look and take advice from others who have already gone that way.

Our Christmas party - November 2008

This years Christmas party, the first for more than five years, was well organised by the Committee, led by Nkechi Mgbo. The turn out was just right. The venue was accessible. There were more than enough food and drinks. The music by IK Okolo, was just out of the world. The young ones were pretty impressive with their impromto display and the oldies held up their part of the bargain. All and all, the day was a success.

We have to now analyse it to see how it can be better for next time, e.g. looking for a system of serving drinks so that there is minimal waste of our money

Party day - 22nd November 2008

Today is the party day and l hope everyone will chill and enjoy themselves. I certainly will. Those who for whatever reasons cannot make it (everyone should endeavour to), will have the opportunity of seeing some of the pictures once the party is over. Hopefully, l will take enough to make it worth yourwhile.
The party is taking place at Wally Foster Centre, Homerton High Road, Hackney, London. Everyone is expected to be there by 7pm to set things up.

We are also expected to vacate the premises by 2am, so can everybody help with the clearing of the hall when the time comes. We stand to forfeit £500 deposite if we stay late or do not clean the place.

Happy Christmas and enjoy yourselves!!!!
