AGM 28 May

A very brief overview of the AGM:

Neville Carr welcomed some 30 members.
Last year's AGM minutes were approved.
Neville reviewed last year's events (for details of these look through this weblog) but noted although our meetings were well attended, there was a need for new members. The committee in particular needed new blood.
Bob Welch noted that although membership numbers were down, our finances were healthy with some £1160 in the bank.
The following committee was elected.
Chair            Neville Carr
Secretary      Paul Bujac 
Treasurer      Anita Langford
Programme Secretary     Bob Welch
The committee is still working on next year's programme. Details will be published on this weblog. Several ideas for visits and research projects were suggested from the members present.
Di Carr gave details of the Tabley House visit - see post on this weblog

The meeting closed with a 'magic lantern quiz show' from Bob Welch. Bob showed a selection of old postcards of the district. See Bob's photos .

Formal minutes will be available later.
