Dennis Reeves - Treasurer

 

My name is Dennis Reeves and I hail from Pembroke in West Wales. I’m married to Eryl and between us we have 5 children and 5 grandchildren...and a cat. I have never been in the forces but did just under 10 years in the ROC and was heavily involved in the RAF Air Cadets as a uniformed member of staff specialising in Radio. Work wise I was an Officer of Custom & Excise, then an Officer of Revenue & Customs until they closed all the local offices in 2014 resulting in early retirement. I now work for Pembrokeshire county council as 'Coordinator' in Highway Department. Basically I look after a high level road bridge & Cover a 24 hour emergency help line.

I come from a RAF family and thus was born my love of Land Rovers. I can still recall the excitement when dad bought a Series home from work. My first was an old Series 2 88". I then got my LR kicks with a works 110 CSW. In 2005 we purchased Lulu, my ex RAF 110 V8 soft top followed 2 years later with the Sankey.

What do I do with EMLRA? Well I’m the treasurer. I look after your hard earned beans. I bank the cheques, transfer the Paypal money and pay all the club bills such as insurance, printing, stationary and postage. I also advise the committee on funding availability for special projects such as the revamp of the website.
