The AGM took place last night (Wed 4th Nov) with a good turnout of members & a review of last years activities. The committee for next year was voted in & is as last year, but with the addition of Russell Cook accepting the role as Trials Coordinator & Kelly Cole standing down as Social Sec after 5 years of organising events for us. Full meeting minutes will appear later in the Club Journal.
