| Retirment of W.Bro. Kevin Collins as Special Representative | 
| As already announced VW Bro Paul Snape PGJO is stepping down as Special Representative for the Preston, Leyland and Chorley area. | 
| Further to this W. Bro Kevin Collins has indicated to me that he wishes to relinquish his duties as Special Representative for the Southport, Ormskirk and Bootle area due to a serious health problem. | 
| Kevin underwent major surgery on Monday 5/3 and is currently in the HD hospital unit. This will be followed by ongoing treatment for his condition. |

| Both will take up their appointments from PGL in April |
