29th Annual General Metting - report by Janet Bickerstaff

The 29th Annual General Meeting was held at the W.I.Hall, Lebanon Gardens, Biggin Hill, Kent, on Thursday 23rd July 2009. 18 members were present.

In the absence of the Chairman, Charles Dutton, the Vice-President, John Bickerstaff, took the chair and read the Chairman’s Report.

In his Report the Chairman thanked John Bickerstaff for introducing the guest speakers during the year and Janet Bickerstaff for the refreshments.   He thanked Martin Davies for his excellent work throughout the past year.   Six issues of the Newsletter were published during the year and he thanked all those who donated articles and who wrote up talks for the magazine.   The Chairman said that the Sales Table had been used throughout the year, and reminded members that all items remaining unsold at the end of the evening should be take home.

The Treasurer, John Bickerstaff, presented the financial report for the year ending 30th June 2009.   Financially the Club is sound, although over the last two years there has been a drop in income due to the cessation of the TechnoFairs.   No equipment was sold during the year.   A donation was made to The Royal Marsden Hospital in memory of David Annal.   There was an increase in the cost of hiring the WI Hall and Public Liability insurance, but a reduction in the cost of the Internet.   The bank account stands at about £1000 less than the previous year, but the overall position is satisfactory.

The Chairman retired and was duly re-elected.   The Committee was re-elected en bloc.

After discussion, it was agreed that with the funds in hand the subscription rate for 2009/2010 should remain the same as the previous year.

The meeting closed at 9.00pm.
