Minutes of NAD’s AGM 2010

Date: 10/10/2010

Time: 15:26pm

 

Chairman’s Report

 

Pete Barrow: Another year, few more quid made. Need to try and find some new members from somewhere - new classes e.g. starter classes. Eco classes have been dropped - so a new class to replace these.

 

Thank to the new secretary Chris Ransome and to the treasurer John Foster for all their hard work over the years.

 

Secretaries Report

 

Chris Ransome: Nothing to report

 

Treasurer Report

 

John Foster:

Members - 23 senior and 1 junior this year

Financial report was handed out and agreed on. Ian Phillips proposed and Dave Harvey seconded. All accepted.

 

Committee:

 

Pete Barrow asked for volunteers to stand on the committee and explained that he would only be doing chairman’s job for 1 more year.

Chairman: Pete Barrow

Secretary: Chris Ransome has said he will stand again this year.

Treasurer: John Foster stated he will carry on this year but will be standing down the year after.

 

Dates:

PB asked that we try and stick to similar dates as the current year for racing - 3 at Bury and 4 at Brid.

 

Proposals:

 

1/ Dave Harvey mentioned about cells. PB says that minutes actually say 5-8cells. Pete Barrow says that we need to stick to the minutes so 5-8 cells

2/ Suggestion for medals instead of certificates. Pete Barrow suggested to afford this we increase membership to £20 and that each class goes up to £5 or £6 per class. Was discussed at length. After discussion it was decided to leave membership at £10 for the year but to increase the fee for classes to £4. Gold medal for 1st place and certificates created for 2nd and 3rd for each class. Proposed by Pete Barrow seconded by Paul Heaton.

3/ Simon Mitchell proposed that we split the heats so that the top 4 drivers are in one heat with the rest in another to hopefully enable fairer racing and competition. Voted on. Seconded by David Harvey. Unanimous agreement.

4/ Ian Phillips proposed that the same race numbers were used throughout the year and to facilitate this they use online booking in - asking drivers to book in before the first race meeting.

 

Chairman closed the meeting at 15:58pm.
