Councillor and businessman Eddie Strengiel is to stand down as
Chairman of Lincoln Business Club after six years in the role.
Eddie was one of the founder members of the club whose aims are
to encourage networking among Lincoln businesses and to raise money
for charitable causes.
When the group was set up in 2004 it had 28 members but under
Eddie's direction membership has grown to more than 550.
Now members are set to vote for a new chairman or chairwoman and
elect or re-elect committee members at the club's Annual General
Meeting at the end of July.
"I've decided to step down as Chairman in view of my added
responsibilities on City of Lincoln Council and Lincolnshire County
Council," said Eddie.
"The changes the club has gone through in six short years have
been extraordinary and we've donated a lot of money to charity -
£1,200 to four charities last year alone."
Members can now nominate a new chairman or chairwoman as well as
other committee roles, including secretary and treasurer, by
emailing nicki@aneyeforbusiness.co.uk
They can also make suggestions as to which two charities should
benefit from donations this year.
"We look forward to welcoming as many of our members as possible
to the AGM on Friday 30th July," said Eddie.
"I will be sorry to be presiding over my last meeting as
Chairman but I'm confident that I will be leaving the club in
capable hands."
Lincoln Business Club meets at 7am on the last Friday of every
month at Lincoln City FC. Membership is free, a £3 entry fee
is payable on the door, free tea and coffee will be available and
bacon sandwiches will be on sale.
