Annual General Meeting

This is not intended to be of a full report at the AGM, it was a disappointing attendance with only five members and five committee members, where here I am pleased to say elected the commitee enbloc as all were wiling to stand.
The membership secretary did mention that due to personal reasons will be stepping down in 2025.

The main topic under Any other Business was the repaint of the Daimler, details were given to those present and the vehicle had been viewed by the respective owner of H&J Commercials of Yate, Bristol.From the discussion it was agreed to continue this venture and give updates to the membership via the website and it may well be a meeting will be arranged when final details i.e. the cost.

A page has been opened up on Go Fund me to assist in the funding tell your friends.
