​Welsh Motoring Writers ushered in committee changes at its annual business meeting on Saturday (23 February), with chairman Huw Thomas retiring at the end of his fifth term.
 
The role will be filled by Simon Harris, while current treasurer Liam Bird is confirmed for a further two years in the post.
 
Huw will become the group’s vice-chairman to assist with a smooth transition, while other committee posts will be finalised in the next few weeks, although Colin Barnett has taken over from Ian Johnson as membership secretary, and Rachel Boagey has replaced Simon Harris as website editor.


​​Huw said: “I made it known at the beginning of my fifth two-year term that my intention was to step down after 10 years and I am delighted to hand over to Simon with whom I have worked so happily and effectively for the last few years. 

“I am sure he will be an excellent chairman, building upon the progress WMW has made over the last decade and securing for the group a successful future.  I am also pleased to become vice-chairman and look forward to stay working for the group as one of Simon’s team.”
 
Simon added: “Welsh Motoring Writers is indebted to Huw for the way he has tirelessly worked for the group as chairman during the last 10 years. The strong position we are currently in is largely due to the dedication Huw has had for the group, and I am pleased he will continue on our committee.
 
“When Huw became chairman at the beginning of 2009, we were a group of 12 members, and when I joined Welsh Motoring Writers at around the same time, I was the youngest member.
 
“We are now a group of 23, and there are many more younger members than me. During his time as chairman, Huw has made the group more forward-looking and relevant, enhancing its appeal as a professional association to a younger membership.”
