We had a pretty good turn out for the AGM which was held after racing at the Cheltenham Regency Hotel just down the road from the track.
After everybody had had a chance to eat a very good lunch from the carvery we got down to discussing club matters which always takes a couple of hours as absolutely everything gets discussed and voted on in a democratic fashion.
The main changes this year involved changes to the committee.
I stood down as secretary although I am remaining on the committee as a "normal" :lol: committee member and shall still be taking the entries for the opens.
Volunteers were asked for and after proposals were taken, Lesley Harris was unanimously voted in as the new secretary with Joanna Masson as Assistant Secretary and June Jonigk offering her help to the other two. Between the three of them they have about 40 years of racing experience so I think the club very good hands. As any club knows it can be hard to find people to take on roles like this so having not one but three people coming forward to take on the role is very encouraging indeed.
Lloyd Masson has joined Dave Thomas as Assistant Race Manager.
Although they have already sourced the trophies for this years opens, Jane Rankin & Joanna Masson stood down as Open Trophy Stewards but we were very pleased to have Louise "the shopping queen" Simmonds join the committee and step forward to take on the role. :thumbsup:
Yvonne Young has taken on the role of Raffle Manager and Elaine Pollard has also joined the committee.
