Annual General Meeting

The club's AGM was held on Friday in the Town Hall and was the best attended for some time. In the absence of Peter Rudzinski, Yvonne Green chaired the meeting very efficiently and the full agenda was completed quickly and with no awkward moments. The main office bearers remain the same with Peter Rudzinski remaining as President and Yvonne and Jim Wright continuing as Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Continuity is always a good sign at the top end of the club. The club accounts were as well laid out as usual and explained comprehensively and in a very professional manner by Jim Wright. The best news from Jim was that club subs are NOT going up this year.

The Magnificent Four (Paul Carroll, Gary Dick, Brian Gallagher and Ian Robertson) were there to see Gary be elected as Club Captain with Paul and Ian going on to the Committee for the first time. Brian pleaded that his shift work made it difficult but he is more than welcome to attend committee meetings as well.

The youngest member in attendance was Under 20 athlete Ryan Savage and it would have been good to see more in attendance from the younger age groups. The Parents Rep is again Mary Ann Savage who took over the post from Donald MacLeod a year ago.

The other major position on the Committee that must be noted is that of Club Welfare Officer. Donald MacLeod has that honour and is responsible for all issues to do with the welfare of club members - he is not simply a Child Welfare Officer - his remit includes that but is wider than that.

So - congratulations to last year's Committee for the work that they have done and the best of luck to the new committee in 2009/2010.
