The Secretary is Chris Farnsworth.
After leaving Stoke-on Trent to study Dentistry he never went back, but had Dental Practices in Heaton Moor, Marple and
Mottram-in-Longdendale. After retirement he had more time for Golf, which he plays very badly, and supporting Manchester City F.C. In his time he has seen England win the
World Cup and City being the top Football Club in England, something he fears his grandchildren will never see. He can be contacted at
