Life Membership
This year there were five nominations and after voting we wish to award K. Ciezarek with
a Life Membership.
J. Ball declared all positions vacant and F. Valastro, the Returning Officer, took the
chair. F. Valastro said that although the Notice of Motion as posted on the noticeboard
was within the 21 day time period, the wording was incorrect. There is a ‘Committee of
Management’ that runs the club. Therefore, he could not accept the motion on that
basis.
As the two scrutineers previously approached did not show up, B. Elliott and D. Dickeson
took on the roles.
