Christchurch & District Model Flying Club

Minutes of Annual General Meeting

Held at the Walkford Hotel 2nd December 2009

     25 members attended with apologies received from Brian Adkins

Secretary’s Report – During the past year the committee has held 7 committee meetings concerning the running of the Club.

Treasurers Report – Our financial position is fairly good and we have current funds of £2958.54 with Lloyds Bank.

The main items of expenditure:- Indoor flying, Sloping Off, Xmas prize draw, Christchurch Sports Council contribution.

This shows an overall increase in funds of £149.16 but as the Club is not paying for the use of the hall the club is in a static financial position. Therefore, I recommend an increase in Club Fees from £10 to £15 as agreed at the March 2007 AGM.

Original copy of the report is with the secretary.

Membership Secretary’s Report – Our current membership stands at 75 members but this could change in the new year with members dropping out for various reasons, and new members joining.

If any member changes their Address, Phone or E-mail could they please notify him or the Secretary.

Activities Secretary’s Report – There were few activities this year but would like to see more members assisting when there are any. The main ones were – Auction night, Quiz night, Club days out. There was no Club open day this year due to weather conditions.

Terry Sullivan thanked the members who went on the flying holiday with him for their assistance during that period.

 The ‘Rosebowl’ competition had a reasonable turnout and weather, this was won by Martin Burr.

The Chairman also thanked Brian Brockway for running the Friday Night League, there were only 6 entries this year.

 Webmaster/ Editor – Mike Roach thanked members for all items received and requested more items from members for inclusion in ‘Sloping Off’ and Website. He will re-write/edit them if you wish but please send something in.
