Jackie Paling was welcomed back to the club meeting last night after many months absence due to ill health. In her last meeting of her year in office she thanked club members for all their support during the year. In particular she thanked Penny Dmoch for deputising for her at many events and presented her with a hanging basket.
At the Annual General Meeting, club members approved a change of structure to the club which would enable the club to operate without a President whilst electing the key officers: Secretary, Treasurer and Programme Action Officer. In future, the executive committee will meet regularly to ensure smooth running and a panel of members will chair meetings on an agreed rota.
The accounts are being audited but Michele handed out copies of the financial situation and members agreed the subscription rate for the year.
