Our 2005 Annual General Meeting

A very encouraging number of members and friends turned up to take part in our annual general meeting last night, Monday November 21. The reports from president Kingsley, Treasurer Shane and Secretary Ed were well received and questions posed by members were all answered by the executive. Overall, the club appears in a sound position with good facilities and an expensive engine rebuild on the aircraft done and paid for.

Elections of a new executive took place with Kingsley Picker returned as president, David Bull as vice president and Ed Collins as secretary. Shane Moorhead declined his nomination to continue as treasurer and the position was taken up by Col Frost. Congratulations to all newly and re-elected executive members and a special thanks to Shane for his thorough and energetic work as treasurer over the past years.
