The meeting was opened at 12.15pm by the Chairman with 11 members present.

1.

The Chairman welcomed our new Vice Chairman and Rally Organiser to their Offices and our new and returning Committee members to the 1st meeting of their 3 year term of office.

2.

Regarding the removal of the 50p pppn levy on rallies which was agreed upon by the members at yesterday’s meeting, it was confirmed that if, in a couple of years we needed to reverse this decision, a proposal would be made to be placed before the AGM.  It was agreed that our accounts for next year’s AGM would leave the members in no doubt what we said we had paid on the AGM had happened.  It was noted that the AGM is not a specific item in the Accounts but the figures would bear out this year’s expenditure as shown.

3,

Regarding the return of equipment from the National Rally it was reported that all items had now been returned with the exception of the T towels.  As they were of a Welsh theme, it was evident to the Committee that they had been removed deliberately as souvenirs.  These were new (for the National) and belonged to a Committee member.  It was proposed, seconded and carried that the member should be reimbursed the cost of these. 

4.

The Committee had seen a member of COM using a laptop throughout the AGM and Members’ Meeting yesterday and it was proposed, seconded and agreed that we should write directly to  Head Office asking for a copy of this write-up to be sent to us.

5.

It had been noted by all the Committee how hard 2 non-committee ladies had worked over the weekend and it was proposed, seconded and carried that some flowers should be sent to them as a “thank you”.

6.

It was confirmed that the theme for the Christmas Party is “tiaras and crowns”, therefore no need to dress up completely if people don’t want to.

7.

It was hoped to have a new phone operational from 1 January next year and details of the proposed phone number were given.  The Secretary requested the old phone be returned to her when no longer required.

8.

It was proposed to hold the next Committee meeting at Cross Hands but we need to wait until all members are available in order to book the venue for an evening meeting.  The Secretary to make contact and then advise other Committee members of the date.

The meeting was closed by the Chairman at 12.35 pm.
