AGM Secretary’s Report – May 2014

Secretary’s Report May 2014

Another season gone.  There was an improvement in membership up to 72 (65 last season). Meeting attendances averaged out at 26 which is roughly a third of the membership, with a good turnout of our younger members attending (then everyone is younger to me).

I think we had a varied spectrum of speakers, with PGMOL referee coach Graham Laws, Ross Joyce CFA RDO, Michael Ingham, York City (though once again the jinx appears after attending our meetings), Syd Nye training officer standing in at late notice, Head of PE at St Johns (amongst other positions) Mark Sullivan, our own Dave King and the quiz presented by Tony Thornton. Though the April meeting  with nothing arranged went well with numerous topics raised and discussed.

Dinner, we had Sharon Shortle, Radio York presenter as guest. Meal was not to everyone’s  taste, with a few complaints. The entertainment made up for it, thanks to Glynn. Colin Fawcett was presented with his RA 50 year membership award. Sam Bayley received the chairman’s award.

The Lol Cussons evening went well, it would be nice if a few more members could attend.

We attained a RA Quest Bronze Award for our procedures and administration.

Thanks go to all committee for their efforts during the season and also to donated prizes, sold raffle tickets , posed problems and assisted in any way.

Congratulations to all who gained promotions and received final appointments for their efforts during the season.

 Proposed meeting dates 2014/5:

Sept 4…Oct 2…Nov 6…Dec 4…Jan 8 ?…Feb 5…Mar 5…Apr 2…May 7.
