Report on the Annual General Meeting


The annual general meeting for the year was held on Friday 7th July at the Brooklyn community hall.

The meeting was well attended and a number of issues were resolved.

Reports were presented by the president, commodore, & the treasurer for the year 2005/2006.

As notified in the AGM agenda a motion was presented for a change to the clubs constitution. The motion was proposed by Les Kemp and seconded by Malcolm Sinclair. The change to the constitution is required to enable the investment of clubs funds into ING rather than the CBC in order to obtain a higher return to assist with the clubs financial situation. The motion was explained and was passed by a unanimous vote.

All committee places were declared open and Greg Scott agreed to act as Chairman for the election of officers for the year 2006/2007.

The results of the election are as follows:
President - Peter Brock
Vice President - John Sutton.
Secretary - Malcolm Sinclair
Treasurer - Terry Dewhurst
Commodore- Les Kemp
Vice Commodore - Bob Batchelor
Sailing Committee - Les Kemp, Bob Batchelor & Jack Stoner.

The members expressed their thanks to John Stavert for his service as Club President for the previous 3 years.

Within general business the issue of club fees was discussed. An estimate of the accounts for the year 2006/2007 produced by Terry Dewhurst showed that the present level of fees could not meet the clubs annual expenditure. After discussion it was agreed that both the family and the associate membership fees should be increased by $5.00 per year. All other fees will remain unchanged.

The clubs gratitude was expressed to Judith Dewhurst for her work at club occasions.

Les Kemp asked for opinions on the content of the cruising part of the program. After discussion Les confirmed that he had sufficient information to assist with the production of the program.

No further business was raised and the formal part of the meeting was declared to be complete
