1. ) Cost of Annual Membership

The club was reported to be in a healthy financial position with cash in
the bank and few financial commitments.

Three proposals for membership costs were voted on. Firstly the previous
cost of £30 per member was proposed by Steve Topping and seconded by Andrew
Holland, it received 4 votes. A second proposal of £30 per member was
proposed by Reg Irving and seconded by Skip Meekins, it received 6 votes. A
third proposal of £30 per member reduced to £20 for retired members was
proposed by Stephen Palmer and seconded by Tony Steel. The second proposal
of £20 per year was adopted.

The club’s financial year runs from 1 September to 31 August as stated in
the constitution. As we are already part way through the year Steve Topping
suggested the membership cost be halved to £10 for the remained of the year
to 31 August. This suggestion was adopted unopposed.

A discussion of the cost of each meeting was agreed to be £3 per member, to
cover the costs of the venue.

2.) Dates of Club Meetings

Two proposals for club meeting dates were proposed. Firstly that the club
continues to meet every fortnight proposed by Tony Steel and seconded by
John Bracegirdle, this received 1 vote. Secondly that the club meets on the
first and third week of every month proposed by Skip Meekins and seconded
by Steve Topping, this received 10 votes and was adopted.

A discussion about the day of the week meetings should be concluded
Wednesdays was the prefered day.
