Club Program (2022)

23rd November 10-4 by Andy G6OHM.

14th December Christmas Social.

This week Andy G6OHM will be giving us an interesting talk called 10-4. I will not say too much about the talk and let Andy introduce it on the evening. Doors open 7pm and talk will start at 7:30. Free Tea and Coffee will be available.

After the talk the committee will be using the hall for a committee meeting.

On the 14th of December we have provisionally set this as our Christmas Social. In previous years this has taken the form of a buffet, with food provided by Marks and Spencer. The other alternative is to have a fish and chip supper. You will find a voting form on the table by the door. Partners are welcome to attend.

Club Membership

At the recent AGM it was agreed that the Annual Subs will be £10 per annum on the basis that we only currently meet once per month. There will be also a nightly fee of £1 per person. (See AGM report below). This may be reviewed next year depending on the numbers re-joining the club and any increase in hall fees (we are not aware of any at the present time).

AGM Report (Summary)

Finance report – M5ATR as See Below

There were no comments or questions on the finance report

subs – there was a discussion regarding subs – as not everyone carries cash around nowadays, do 

we make it one payment for subs and remove the nightly fee, or do we make a payment for subs and

a nightly fee. After some discussion it was decided that for now we pay £10 subs and continue with the nightly fee of £1. this will be reviewed at the next full AGM (hopefully March/April 2023 time)
