Dear Members,
First of all this is a further reminder that our next monthly meet on Sunday April 17th is the Calder Northern Division Annual General Meeting, the AGM will start promptly at 1.30pm.
This year the only committee position to be voted on is that of Secretary. As you are aware nominations for this position should have been sent to Les Herriot before 31st March 2011. Les currently holds this position and is willing to be nominated for a further term should members so wish.
In order to keep our costs down we will not be posting to you a copy of the minutes of last years AGM meeting. However, members wishing to read a copy can do so in advance of the AGM on 17th April in the “Clubroom” or they can request a copy by e-mail or phone to Les Herriot on 01204 305457 or leslieherriot@talktalk.net
For those of you who will be unable to attend the meeting I will also append below a draft of the agenda items in case you wish to contact the Secretary to request your comments be heard at the meeting on the issues where you have any concerns.
This year I intend only to make a short Chairman’s speech giving a minor overview of the year’s activities and thereafter deal with each element as part of the agenda as appropriate. That way it is hoped to speed up the meeting to allow members to do what they enjoy most by running trains and talking about them.
The Treasurer will be giving his explanation of the Divisions finances during the meeting.
Please do come along, as after all, it is your Division and it is the membership, which is ultimately responsible for the success or failures of our activities and even our existence. As we have emphasised many times in the past– we use it or we lose it!
