Annual General Meeting
The Club's AGM was held on Thursday 16th February 2012 at 7:30pm at the usual venue of the
Methodist Church Hall in Colchester Road, Wix. Ten members were present and were pleased
to hear the report of the Hon Treasurer that the Club had made a small surplus over the
year, as the income from the shows just exceeded the costs.
Only one Committee member was due to be re-elected and was returned unopposed, and we were
also joined by a very welcome new Committee member Mrs Sylvia Patten.
Subscriptions are now due for the year 2012 and can be paid to the Hon Secretary
Mr John Carter at the address below. Membership is £2.00
annually. For joint membership of any two adults living at the same address the fee is
£3.00, and non-voting junior membership at 50p annually is available for those from six
to sixteen years of age.
