At a well-attended AGM the committee thanked everyone for attending and taking an interest in running the club. There were just two apologies for absence and the minutes for the last AGM – having been on the notice board for some time – were approved. The Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer gave their reports and these were approved. Elections to the committee followed and,yes, we have new members! Colin Ford has now been elected to handle Events. Colin has been shadowing Jeff for this year as a co-opted member but is now elected.The programme for 2006 was put together by Colin. We also have a new Treasurer, Stuart Adey. Stuart has also been working alongside Richard to see how things are done. We welcome Stuart to the committee. The Committee should like to thank Jeff Cordery & Richard Hoodles s who is stepping down this year, for all their hard work. Members were again asked to consider taking an active role in the club by joining the committee. especially between now and the next AGM. Subscriptions for 2007 were difficult for the committee to predict but it was decided to increase the current fee of £30 to £35, which will include a £5 charge to the new lathe fund. You can also make donations so we can get a new lathe sooner! With no other business on the agenda, the Chairman closed the formal part of the meeting. The open forum which followed produced a number of interesting comments and suggestions which will be implemented where possible and listed on the noticeboard as a reminder. All present were thanked for some very useful suggestions and a plea made to keep them going for the benefit of good club management. The tea/coffee break offered time for networking and admiring the wide range of items entered in the Frank Clarke Memorial Award competition. Members present cast their votes, winners were selected and prizes given at the end of the evening. Trophies must be returned before the August meeting which is the next competition night. Look out for the photographs in the next Newsletter! I wonder what the committee will think of for the next competition- always a hotly debated topic at our meetings! Full copies of the various reports can be obtained from the Secretary on Club nights or by email, as usual. |
