Our AGM ~ 5th April 2017

Our AGM was held at our usual venue of the Vassall Centre.
 Chairman Helena lights the candle of friendship to get the AGM underway.

 The incoming chairman and secretary practise drinking in unison.

 Treasurer Sheila has done a great job again, balancing the books.

 We are all delighted when Helena badges up Margaret as a new member.


 Helena passes on the Chairman's chain to Sharon.


 Sharon prepares to carry on with the business when......

 ....in come the 41ers with their musical interruption.


 Sharon looks aprehensive as the men start to sing.....

.....looks like she approves!

 Tangent join in.....

 ......obviously enjoying the rendition of 'Sharon's Song'.

 Incoming 41 Club Chairman, Duncan, presents Sharon with flowers.  John tries to gatecrash the photo! 




 Sharon presents Helena with her IPC badge.


 Sharon gives Helena a gift from all of Tangent.

 What a lovely gift to remind Helena of her year as Chairman!

 Anne receives her Secretary's badge for another year.


 Sheila becomes Treasurer for another year.

 Kim receives an honorary member's badge.


Sharon has the pleasure of badging up Kathryn for the second time, first as a Circler and now as a Tangent member. 

Song for Sharon
The Tangent train came down the track Sharon Q, whoo woo!
The Tangent train came down the track just for you, whoo woo!
The Tangent train is all on track, lead them on don’t yickety-yack
Sharon Q Q Q, looking at you ..…whoo woo! 

The railway world is where you work Sharon Q, whoo woo!
The railway world it keeps you tickety boo, whoo woo!
All your life you’ve kept to time, a hat, a ticket and flask of wine
Sharon Q Q Q, looking at you …..whoo woo! 

The Tangent express is in your hands Sharon Q, whoo woo!
Letting off steam is what you’ll probably do, whoo woo!
The Vassell shed will burst with steam, Daisy the railcar wants to scream
Sharon Q Q Q, looking at you  ...…whoo woo! 

The Conductor’s job is what you’ll certainly do, whoo woo!
The speaker’s lost as she’s got locked in the loo, whoo woo!
The meetings never run to time, as most of Tangent are pissed on wine
Sharon Q Q Q, looking at you ..…whoo woo! 

We hope your year’s a great success Sharon Q, whoo woo!
We hope that Tangent stays on track behind you, whoo woo!
The year ahead will be great fun, the tangent express is on a run
Sharon Q Q Q, looking at you  ...…whoo woo! 

(If anyone has the words to the unpublished verse, could they please let me have them and I'll add them here. Thanks.)
