MINUTES
of the 2014 FMCC AGM
All
members were present. Venue: Scout Hut. Date: Sunday 5th January 2014
Well
it was all very exciting…. Ian didn't want to stand as Chairman
for a third term of office, so the voting box was dusted off and the
balls soon started clattering this way or that.
John
had more balls than the other candidates, so became Chairman.
He
was presented with his ceremonial items of office (the box, but not the
gun which Ian seems to have misplaced).
Pad
remained Secretary. The treasurer reported that our bank balance stands
at £32.52p, so Alan retained his treasurership and duly collected £80
subs from members.
As
for activities, there was quite a todo about it all. Prior to the
meeting, Fatmen got their FatWACs's out and the secretary merged them
together… a difficult process that requires dexterity and patience.
