BOWDON CROQUET CLUB A.G.M., 14th November 2015.
53 club members attended the AGM of the club, held at the club house at 11:00am on Saturday 14th November 2015.
Hon.
Treasurer, Barry McKenzie, reported that the club
overspent its budget this year, mainly because of the
hire of consultants to challenge the proposed
replacement of the Jubilee Rooms; he was also
disappointed with the revenue from bar takings. Full
club subscriptions will be raised by £10 in line with
inflation; all other categories will raise
proportionately, except Junior, which will be free of
charge.
A
change to the Club Rules was passed, after much
discussion, relating to the election of honorary
officers and committee members to bring them in line
with the rules of most other clubs. The abiity to
directly elect such members without some form of prior
notification was potentionally detrimental
to the smooth running of the club.
The presentation of club competition trophies brought the meeting to a close.
