Speaking of Colin, as I announced at the meeting on Tuesday, Colin would like to step down from his role in booking models for our regular model nights, so we need someone to volunteer to replace him. Colin has been booking models for as long as I can remember, so he's certainly earned a break - I'm sure everyone at the club will want to join me in thanking him for all the work he has done over the years. If anyone is interested in taking on the role please talk to Colin or me about finding out what the role entails.

 

The experiment of holding a sales table on a model night seemed to work well, with the two activities not interfering with each other, so I think it's something we will look to do more of in the future. The event was very successful, with over £50 raised for club funds and (just as importantly) some photographic equipment found its way to people that will use it, rather than languishing in cupboards.

 

Next week's meeting is our AGM - I have forwarded some documents from our secretary regarding this. The club is run by and for its members, so this is your chance to participate. There will be no early session, and there's not TOO much contentious to discuss. We will be voting on the proposed new competition rules, as explained by Nick Veale in recent  early sessions, so if you think the new rules are something you want to see (or indeed, if you think they are a terrible idea) then please do come along so your vote can count. The committee will be recommending acceptance of this proposal, but the decision will ultimately be made by the membership.

 

The summer programme is filling out nicely - latest version attached. Remember that places on the dog agility session are limited so please contact Ele ASP if you want to attend. I have also added information about the Chinese meal in Evesham, which Dave Ward and Peter Young wil be coordinating.
