Report on AGM.

Thank you to all who came to the AGM on the 22nd of this month. I hope you agree that it has been a busy year for the committee, and I'd like to thank all the committee members for their hard work. It certainly is a labour of love, so if you see any of them out there give them a pat on the back. (Cold refreshments are also accepted!)

For those of you who were not present a summary of the evening is outlined below:

Annual report.
Over the course of the year the committee has been involved in:

  • site track maintenance,
  • weatherstation repairs,
  • updating the associations details,
  • establishing site monitors,
  • re-establishing the club website,
  • liaising with site owners regarding access and usage,
  • making submissions to councils regarding the use of sites,
  • sponsored social activities,
  • sponsoring members for participation in international competitions,
  • creating and placing site safety/rules signs,
  • creating a tow subcommittee for the development of a HG and PG tow facility.

Financial report:
Our accounts currently hold in the region of $11,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Our accountants have not yet completed our annual accounts, and these are expected to be ready sometime in February. A Special General Meeting will be called at that time to formally receive these accounts.
Our account balance is expected to reduce over time, this being the effect of the decision made last year to reduce our membership fee. At next year's AGM we will review our accounts and decide if we want to keep our membership fee at it's current level.
