Chairman’s Report
Despite the poor weather conditions in 2007 the branch still managed to attend various rallies.  Our own rally was moved at the last minute to Wansford and with the help of dry weather was very successful.  Our rally also included the inauguration of the boules competition, again very successful and will be repeated again this year.

Secretary’s Report
As the previous secretary, Maurice Stewart resigned part way through the year, there is no secretary’s report.

Treasurer’s Report
Richard Hall had been having problems with his computer and was unable to give a full financial report, however on 16^th November the bank balance stood at £203.24 with a cash float of approximately £200.  Richard will give an accurate update as soon as his computer is up and running again.

Membership
A couple of members have indicated that they will not be renewing their membership, but new members have joined through the year and so when all membership renewals have been received the membership should look quite healthy.

Election of Officers
Chairman – Sue Akrill was willing to stand again and as there were no other candidates, Ian Sutcliffe proposed and Christine Haigh seconded and the vote was unanimous to retain Sue as chairman for another year.

Secretary – as this position was vacant, Ian Sutcliffe offered to take on the role.  Paul Botteril formally proposed and Tim Stanforth seconded the proposal and as the vote was again unanimous, Ian was returned as secretary for the coming year.

Action Point – Ian will contact Maurice to obtain all paperwork he holds for the club and will also contact the bank to have his signature added to bank records for the club’s bank account.

Treasurer – Richard Hall was willing to stand again and as there were no other candidates, Tim Stanforth proposed and Chris Akrill seconded and the vote was unanimous to retain Richard as treasurer for another year.

Events Secretary – Steve Wood was willing to stand again and as there were no other candidates, Richard Hall proposed and Chris Akrill seconded and the vote was unanimous to retain Steve as events secretary for another year.

Webmaster – Chris Akrill was willing to carry on with this position and in the absence of any other candidates was proposed by Keith Haigh and seconded by Christine Haigh and the vote was unanimous to retain Chris as webmaster for another year.

Magazine Editor – this position is vacant and as no-one is willing to take this on at the moment the magazine will continue to be produced online.  It was agreed a list of members email and/or phone numbers will be compiled to keep everyone up to date with coming events.

Elected Members – Graham Steenoven and Paul Botteril were both willing to continue in their posts and so Graham was proposed by Keith Haigh and seconded by Pam Stanforth and Paul was proposed by Steve Wood and seconded by Ian Sutcliffe.  Both votes were unanimous.

As there was no other business, this concluded the AGM and the meeting closed at 8.50pm.
