Handing over the baton
In 2018 a casual vacancy arose on the UK Stewards Committee (UKSC), and someone was needed to take on this role for the South West. I had not long completed training to be an ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ steward and felt that maybe I was not experienced enough in the ways of the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ to take on this responsibility, but I thought about it and spoke to my Branch Chair, Vicky Brotherton. With her encouragement, I did submit my application, and left the decision in the hands of the members of the South West region. I was delighted when they put their trust in me and voted me on to the committee.
