He had moved the Society slightly forward but probably ran out of enthusiasm.
He did do one good thing - inadvertently.
He ensured that the people running Whitby Folk Week took it away from the Society when he suggested that all profits from the festival should go to the Society and any losses be absorbed by the VOLUNTEERS running it. This was not only aimed at Whitby but at all festivals under the Society's banner.
Before anyone tells me I am wrong let me just say I was in the room when he said it and was one of those responsible for making sure the festival survived.
The late Edmund Jenkinson was the other person involved.
We had some real bunfights at subsequent NEC meetings as I am sure Steve Heap would testify and in the end we both had to resign.
