Club Night and AGM 4th March 2014

We started the evening with the AGM which was completed in about 35 minutes with no issues surfacing. A vote of thanks was given to outgoing Treasurer, Jim Nicholson, and Events Manager, Peter Brophy, for their many years of hard work and tireless enthusiasm to keep the Club vibrant. We were pleased to welcome Laurie Conder as our new Treasurer and Diane Lyons who has taken the role of Events Manager. We are sure they will do a great job to keep the Club moving forwards. Acknowledgment is made for the other Committee Members contributions: Delyse Whorwood as Secretary; Peter Littlejohn as Logistics Manager; Colleen Kerr as Secretary emeritus; and, Ken Mahy together with all those that had helped during the year on door, camera and kitchen duties - particularly, Dennis Lyons and Sylvia Riddell.

Gordon Sutherland was presented with a bottle of red wine and a gratitude card for his 'sterling' work during 2013.

Holding the AGM. The microphone kept drooping more and more which seemed to cause huge amusement. Left to Right: Jim Nicholson (outgoing Treasurer); Gordon Sutherland (President); and, Delyse Whorwood (Secretary). Photo courtesy of Dennis Lyons.
After the Raffle and an early refreshments break, five of our members played for us, namely, in order of play: Denis Stewart; John Perkin; Peter Littlejohn; Pam Rea; and Colin Crann who also kindly did the arrival music for us.

All in all, a very pleasant evening of musical entertainment.
