Club Working Day – held on 14th Sept.
Considering how wet it had been over the so called summer we were incredibly lucky to have great weather for this working day.

Club Gas-Up and Road-run – held on 5th October
A very successful event well attended by our members and made all the more eventful as we were joined by Gordon’s new neighbours and their traction engines, quite a novelty for us. We are hoping that this will become a regular feature at this event. Thanks to all those who brought their stationary engine and tractors on the day.

AGM – held on 20th November
Well attended meeting as usual. The committee remains the same following the usual format of proposals and seconders. There is however a vacancy for Vice Chairman as Malcolm felt he’d served for long enough and wasn’t in a position to take over as Chairman. John Moore has made it clear he would like to, at least, have some help with the position. It would be good to have someone ‘learning the ways’ so he can relinquish the job in the future. All the committee will be available to help and assist anyone thinking of volunteering!!
The annual accounts were produced and discussed. We have ended the year with slightly less mainly due to rising costs; the purchase of a new sound system and the cancellation of the Spring Working Day due to bad weather. As a consequence donations to charity will be reduced this year. All details can be found in the January Newsletter.
We have been informed by our Insurance Agent that he has retired so the insurance availability we have enjoyed for some 20-odd years via BAVCC is no longer open to us. Unfortunately we were only informed of this in November and we have been trying to obtain an alternative on a similar basis. This has proved to be extremely difficult to date but we are still researching the matter and hope to be able to inform our members before subscriptions become due in January.
