AGM 2008

August 2008

 A message from the Chairman -

In the Autumn last year two new members were co-opted onto the committee: Mr. Alan Hughes and Mr. Mal Treharne.  These two new members and committee member Jane Warmington volunteered to produce the Spring 2008 newsletter, which they did very successfully under the editorship of Mr. Alan Corkett, who also edits the ‘Halsway Post’.  When Mr. David Worthy resigned as editor of the newsletter after last year’s AGM, there was not enough time to put an Autumn newsletter together, for which we apologise.

A third new committee member, Mrs. Wendy Hofmaier, was co-opted in January 2008.  There were no resignations this year.

At last year’s AGM there was some confusion about the timing for submitting resolutions for discussion at the AGM.  Members of FoQ can put forward resolutions at the AGM, which will be discussed under ‘Any Other Business’, provided they have been submitted in writing to the Secretary (Mrs M ter Braak) by no later than 9 September 2008.

This year we will have a guest speaker, Mr Garry Penny, who will be talking to us about his recent book “Mixed Blessings: Rural Life on the Quantock Hills”.  His talk will take place at the beginning of the evening before the AGM.  This arrangement is more convenient for the Speaker, and - who knows - it may encourage more of you to attend!!!

The agenda for this year’s AGM is shown below.  I look forward to seeing you on 17th September  - Mrs Laetitia Kelly
