Announcing a Newly Elected Chair for NZFFWS 
Because the current Chair, Keith Nixon, is retiring at the end of March, the NZFF Welfare Society has advertised for his replacement. Bill Swan  put up his hand for the job. Because there were no other nominations, as returning officer, I can declare Bill as the new Chair for the NZFF Welfare Society. The term is for four years.
