Hi All It's AGM time again and all Centres need committees to keep going. As we are not getting a lot of new blood in, it's all down to the members we have got. A lot have done their bit to keep Centres running, this message is for those members who have not. I know it seems a very daunting thought to take on a position on the committee, but remember you are not on your own. There is always someone to help you into the role and remember you can only do your best. You can put your ideas across at committee meetings to guide the Centre on a route you want.

Good morning,   Following our committee meeting last night I have been asked to let members know the current situation the Centre finds itself in with regard to carrying on and surviving into 2026. The Centre has to form a committee to be able to run – current Club requirements is as follows.  Chairman / Treasurer / Secretary and committee up to a total of 15.  Minimum to carry on is 5, of which should be Chairman/Treasurer and Secretary plus 2 committee.  This goes for committee meetings, less than 5 attending the meeting cannot undertake decisions, it’s just a discussion meeting. The Centre can have 1 or 2 Vice-Chairman from the committee numbers, and the Rally Secretary is also taken from committee numbers. We have run the last year with 9 committee members and it was indicated last night that 4 are undecided still, 4 are not standing for re-election, and one nomination was given for a committee position. The vital roles we therefore need to...
