This is a very short Train Orders as we need to advise members of the forthcoming AGM on April 19th. The Agenda is on the back of this page.
Please note –
Gordon Nelhams, Michael Coates and Trevor Austin have completed their 2-year stint on the committee and it is for these three positions we will need to elect new committee members. Michael and Trevor have indicated they do not wish to stand again; grateful thanks to both of them for their support and input. Gordon is happy for his name to put forward for nomination again.
We ask that you send your nominations for any or all of the three positions on the committee to Les Herriot before the 31st March.
In the case of a vote being necessary this will be by show of hands by the members present at the AGM. The committee agreed this policy at its formation, as it is only right and proper that those who attend these meetings are the rightful people to determine the direction of Calder Northern Division.
May we remind you that only the elected members of the committee can from within their own number make the appointment of Chairman, Secretary & Treasurer?
Please advise the Secretary, Les Herriot of any Agenda items you wish to be included. If you have any issues you wish to raise during the meeting, then these will be dealt with under Any Other Business.
News – Those of you who made it to Crewe for the last two meetings will be aware that Heritage Centre volunteers are decorating the ‘clubroom’. It is expected that the room will be finished before the AGM April meeting.
We are still looking for volunteers to come along on Wednesdays to work on the ‘new’ HO layout. A number of members have made the effort and progress on tracklaying is currently the main task. Once the boards are back in our room then some wiring will need to be done so bring along your soldering iron.
Any offers of help toward the October “Eastern Roads” meet will be appreciated and if you know of anyone with a suitable layout who would like to come and exhibit their layout please get in contact with Tim & Jack Brown.
We hope to offer the Pensy RR items, given by a local Crewe person, to the highest bidders at the AGM. These books, model kits and whitemetal locos can be viewed in advance – contact Terry Wynne
