From The New DC

I am very excited to have been appointed as the District Commissioner for Enfield and officially taken over the role from Charlie Rowell.

For those of you who don't know me I previously held the role of Deputy County Commissioner and before that I was the Assistant County Commissioner International and a Cub Scout Leader with the 4th Wood Green.

I am very pleased to be joining such a great team of leaders and look forward to working with you all. In time I will endeavour to get around the District to meet as many of you as possible so please do invite me to any events/section meetings that you are running!

As I’m sure you’ll all agree Charlie did a fantastic job in interim and I would like to thank him for all of his hard work and also take the opportunity to thank you all for holding the fort and for supporting him throughout his duration of DC.

Fantastic.
