MINUTES
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
6 July 2010
Salvation Army Hall, Kennedy St., Castlemaine 3450

The meeting was opened by Vice President Trevor Westlake at 7:45pm.

The Vice President welcomed members and announced apologies from the President, Rod Marchant, Trish Sharkey, Marion Williams, David & Sue Ratcliff and Therese Pollard.

The Vice President delivered the President’s Report:

President’s Report

I’m sorry that I am unable to be with you tonight, I am at Casino in NSW, a cold and not so sunny Casino.

Once again the AGM is upon us and we face the usual problem of getting volunteers for the committee, this year we particularly need a Treasurer and Secretary as I’m sure you have been told.

Membership is down this year, once again some members from the previous year do not return.

After the roll up to first meeting of the year I had hopes that membership would be larger. So far the meetings have been interesting if not well attended although some members find self judging to be a trial. This is an issue that the committee will try to address later in the year.

Competitions seem to be holding up and the standard of photography and presentation continues to improve, again there are members who do not, or no longer enter the competitions.

The outing to Melville Caves was poorly attended, the only mug that went was me. Perhaps weekend outings are not the way to go.

One of the difficulties of being President is knowing what it is that members want, if there is something you want that we are not doing please let me or the committee know. PLEASE.

Rodney Marchant
