Annual General Meeting Report 2023
 

The Annual General Meeting of the Society was held on Wednesday 25th October 2023 at the Llantonian Hall in Llantwit Major. More than 30 members attended which is the minimum required for the meeting to proceed.

The meeting commenced with the Chairman`s report in which the Committee members were thanked for their on-going hard work and commitment to the Society. The Chairman outlined the various activities and projects that the Society has been involved with, including our monthly talks, trips, the annual show, and the store, and requested help with tidying up the area around the store. He also thanked Gwennan Craddock for her hard work in running the Society`s website.

The Treasurer produced a financial statement for the year and explained all the entries to show how the money is being used on members behalf.

The Show Secretary`s report highlighted all the ways in which this year`s show was an unqualified success. There was a large number of entries and the quality of the exhibits in all the classes was noted by the judges. The team behind the show secretary were thanked for their help and preparation for next year`s show is already underway.

All of the present committee members indicated that they were prepared to stand again. As there was no opposition to this, the Committee was duly re-elected.

No points for discussion had been received from members 14 days prior to the date of the meeting, as required in the constitution. No other general questions were raised and therefore the meeting concluded.

Our thanks to those who attended both in person and sent their apologies to be counted.
