`I was Secretary of the Music Society from 1994 to `95. During this time I realized that the Society's reserve funds needed to be increased. Many new members were recruited and a number of successful concerts were held. In this way enough money was raised to cover all our general expenses up to 1997. I also re-arranged the committee so that all members knew what their duties were supposed to be.'
