Macclesfield AGM - Wednesday 16th January 2002

1) Meeting open 8:20pm

2) The secretary read out the minutes from the previous meeting in the absence of any printed copies. No matters were arising.

3) The Secretary reported that the year was steady and relatively uneventful, and the website was stll up and running after a forced address change.

4) Treasurers report: The income over the year was £245.00, outgoings were £267.15, which resulted in a slight reduction in clubs funds from £269.91 to £247.76, the chief reason being the re-introduction af land rent costs.

5)Election of committee:

Chairman - stays with Tony

Treasurer - stays with Dave

Competition Secretary - stays with Terry and Paul

Secratary - stays with Adrian

6) Budget for 2001: it was decided in view of the increased cost of shooting ground rental, to increase the membership fees to £25 per year for all members, and individual shoot fees to £3 per shoot, with £1 per shooter going to the day's winner and £2 per shooter returning to club funds. This should offset the cost of the shooting ground and an expected large increase in insurance costs. This was voted for unanimously. It was also discussed weather to have a 'pot' at the shooting round for members to make a donation of say £1 on non-shoot days to also help cover the cost.

7) Any other business: The problem of what to charge non-members coming to shoot on a club competition day was discussed at length. It was eventually decided that a charge of £5 per day would be made, with a subsequent reduction in the membership fee to £20 if that person subsequently joins the club. This entitles the non-member to take part in the day's competition with scratch handicap, and their score will be recorded to calculate a future handicap again if that person subsequently joins. This was voted for unanimously.

Action points: Print application forms to be kept in the hut at Kerridge.

Shoot dates decided for next two months.

8) Meeting closed 9:55
