From WCF President Charles Jones:

This is to advise that Martin French of the Ipswich Club, U.K. has been appointed Secretary General of the WCF. The WCFMC was impressed with the high standard of applicants received. Martin has many skills both from within croquet and in his working life that he will bring to this position. I thank all members for the interest shown in this position. I look forward to the contribution I know Martin will make to the WCF organization and wish him well.
