MINUTES
of the 2017 FMCC AGM
Minutes from the FMCC AGM
Sunday 8th January 2017
Scout Hut, Ruislip
Members present: DB, JE,
NL, IN, PR, KZ
1) CLUB OFFICIALS
It was suggested that RC
should be Chairman for 2017 as he wasn’t in attendance. Everyone
agreed, but then it was mentioned that he might find attendance of
meetings slightly trickier now he’s moved down South, so both JE and DB
were forwarded for consideration. During the time-honoured tradition of
the ‘voting box’, the balls fell in favour of JE and DB who tied
with 4 balls each. They then had a penalty shoot-out and both scored 3
balls each… so it then came down to the flip of a coin which DB won
with tails.
KZ had done a remarkable job
as treasurer and had a printout making the accounts look almost proper.
So he was automatically reconstituted for 2017. As was PR as secretary -
all because he still updates the FMCC Directory (sad isn’t it).
2) Subs and Amendment
KZ reported that we are £247.15
in surplus. Members are to pay subs of £100 into KZ’s account. PR
suggested an activity refund could be introduced for members unable to
attend an activity due to last minute work, citing that his FATWAC’s
chart in January can only be guessed and for the past few years he has
not only missed half the year’s activities but on top of that, had to
pay £25 for each non-attendance. It was decided that a £25 refund
should be due after 2 activity misses caused by last minute work.
3) ACTIVITIES
The completed FATWACS was
consulted and clear weekends were established and reasonably spaced out,
despite the first activity being later than normal. Without much ado the
following activities were all deemed worthy:
Jurassic walking with
dinosaurs (us I suppose)
Cycling in France with sea
cruise as in the old days
Canoeing the River Severn
and camping in a pub garden
Devon multi-activity
weekend at Manor Hotel (with NL’s approval)
They fall neatly into the
dates chosen as follows:
April 8/9 - Jurassic
walking
(RC to organise as it’s down his way
June 10/11 - Cycling in
France
(KZ to organise)
Sept 30 / Oct 1 - Canoeing
River Severn (PR to organise)
Dec 2/3 - Devon
multi-activity weekend (IN to organise)
Other activities that
didn’t quite make the grade were: caving, running with bulls, walking
in Scotland. Surely these activities could be combined.
4) AOB
- The Annual Fatman Golf
Masters Championship is to be held on Sunday 22nd January at Uxbridge,
meeting first at 9am at the Tich for brekkers.
- August 12th was
chosen as the date for either the annual meal or BBQ.
- The secretary said he
would relay the activities and dates to anyone else who might want to
attend.
The AGM was closed at
10.45pm.
