Sid was voted onto the committee in February 1979. Looking back, it doesn't seem that it is was twenty nine years ago that he was voted by the members to be Solent Fuchsia Clubs Show Secretary.

Sid, who was elected Show Secretary in 1979, has held Office longer than any other member.

He is also editor of the Club's newsletter which comes out three times a year.
