Successful AGM

A successful night on April 29 at BAWA – a report later. Committee newcomers were welcomed and here is a short summary for those who weren’t able to attend the AGM. Malcolm Gamlin and Bernard Smyth have stood down from the committee, but Bernard is to continue as the website manager. Gordon Comley was elected to the committee and Tim Bond is to continue as acting chair until a new chair is found, when he would then like to remain on the committee, particularly to assist in our planned transfer to charitable status. Four people have shown a willingness to be involved. They have been invited to attend our next committee meeting(s) so that they can see how we operate, and how they can assist. So welcome to Paul Baker, George Crosbie, Dave McConnell and Cliff Grant. Rob Bennett reported that this year we have 124 paid members with 43 new ones, significantly up on previous years. Total subs were £1,240 with £1,660 donations to the group, much greater than previously.
