The Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday 14^th January 2014 in the BSA Village Hall, Aisthorpe at 2015 hours.  A copy of the Agenda is published below:

A G E N D A

 1         Apologies for absence

 2         Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 15^th January 2014

 3         Matters arising from the Minutes

 4         Chairman’s Report

 5         Treasurer’s Report

 6         Amendments to Club Rules – Club Rule 3– Officers 

7          Proposed by Steve M5ZZZ, Seconded by Dave M0KWM

Club Rule 5 reads:

Any member not having paid their subscription by 31^st December shall cease to be a member of the Club.”

It is proposed that this should now read:

“The Officers shall hold office for one (1) year, and shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting, all retiring Officers being eligible for re-election.  In the event of a vacancy occurring on the Committee, the Committee shall have the power to co-opt any Club member to serve on the Committee for that part of the year remaining; this member shall have been a paid up member of the club for at least one full year (12 consecutive months).  The Chairman shall call meetings of the Committee as and when required.  With the exception of matters dealing with elections and subscriptions, the Committee is empowered to make any decisions without reference to the main body of the membership.  A quorum of five which shall include a minimum of one officer shall form a Committee which shall be chaired by the Chairman, the Secretary, the Treasurer or the Activities Officer in that order. All Committee members shall have been paid up members for at least two full years (24 consecutive months) to take effect from the AGM on 14 January 2004.

Any member not having paid their subscription by 31^st December shall cease to be a member of the Club.”

Steve’s reason for this change is because of the lack of interest of members to serve on the Committee; this would allow newish and suitable members with specialist skills to be co-opted.

The Surplus Equipment Sale was once again a great success albeit numbers were slightly down on previous sales. Below are a few pictures showing some of the equipment being sold together with some of our visitors and club members.

It is hoped to hold another Surplus Equipment Sale in April next year.

It is by popular demand that we are putting on hot dogs and mushy peas at the Surplus Equipment Sale on Wednesday 29th October. Tea and coffee will also be available during the evening.
