The
Annual General Meeting for the 2010/2011 year of the Club took place at
The Royal Hotel in Perth on Wenesday 29th February 2012.
The meeting covered the year ending March 2011, with the previous years AGM meeting minues being accepted.
Club
President Jim Paterson covered the years activities which had started
with the Rally School, thanking Maurice Millar for his hard work
putting the event and follow-on rally together. The Monte Carlo
Historique 100th Anniversary Glasgow start had kept Douglas Anderson
very busy but it was a great success with some 8000 spectators turning
out to Blythswood Square for the departure. Douglas and Jim also made
it all the way to Monte in the Herald, along with support form other
club members.
The Argyll Classic route designed by Tom and
Marianne Dromgoole was another winner in March, picking a great weekend
weatherwise as well. The International Autoecosse in June again
attracted a large entry from Club Triumph for their pilgrimage north of
the border. Visiting the Isle of Bute was a complete change for the
event.
The BBQ at Dave Barnetts' Classic Autosports ws well
attended as was the Deeside at the end of July which Douglas and June
put together. The pair were busy again to organise the Scottish
Mountain Challenge at the end of August, the first of the "Auto
Distance" events that Douglas had come up with.
The
evening with Erik Carlsson at the Blythswood Hotel attracted over 60
people to hear Erik and Stuart Turner relate stories from their
rallying days, as a Saab crew. Unfortunately Erik ws not well enough to
attend in person, but Douglas and Jim had been to see him at home and
returned with a video interview.
Trans Alpina in October
took 7 crews across Europe on a route designed by Dave Spence covering
great alpine passes and high peaks. The Legs 11 had to be cancelled but
will return in 2012 in another format. Finally we wrapped up the year
with the annual Christmas high Tea in December to wap stories of
theyears escapade.
June Anderson presented the financial
accounts which showed a cash in the bank of £3235.82 at the end
of the 2010 / 2011 financial year.
Jim reported that the club
had 250 members at the end of the same period. The eNewsletter goes to
some 636 addresses. The website contiued to attract a healthy number of
visitors,particularly in the run up to and immediately following
events.
Electing the principal office bearers June Anderson
offered her resignation as Company Secretary, a role which she has
carried out since formation of the club in 1998. Jim Paterson thanked
her for her long service and good work in carrying out the role. June
did add that she would continue to be involved with the
organisation of events.
Jim Paterson was re-elected as
President, John Stuart was re-elected as Treasurer and also accepted
the role of Company Secretary.
Whilst June stepped down from the
committee, Douglas remained a member. Tom Niven and Roddie Main joined,
and Dave Spence and Roger Fry were re-elected making a commitee of
seven members.
Proposals to change the rules to allow a
committee to be formed with no less than 5 members was adopted, and a
