Annual General Meeting
Club Rooms Braunstone
Monday 5th October 1964.
The meeting was called to order at 2015.
Two presentations were made before the A.G.M. officially got under way. The A.R.R.L. Handbook to Mr Dawson and the Capt Thomas Trophy to Mr Henessay.
The Chairman called the meeting to order again at 2030 for the A.G.M.
The minutes of the last A.G.M. were read and carried unanimously.
The Chairman (Mr Gray G3LTT) then gave his report stating that membership had increased slightly but could do to be increased much more. It was disappointing that we didn't enter the Abbey Park Show and that the Hobbies Exhibition we intended to enter instead was cancelled. The new club Rx had been purchased mainly the Eddystone 680X and should anyone else wish to make a donation towards it, all would be greatly appreciated.
The S.W.L's were to be congratulated on a FB piece of building in the club modulator.
The club station would be on for the Scout Jamboree 0001 till 0730 operators were required, the press had been invited and a good turnout was hoped for. Mr Goadby then interrupted the Chairman to ask why we had purchased a 680X - the committee had decided upon an Eddystone type and the 680X was a unanimous decision. The Chairmans report now finished, the Treasurer (Mr Harrison G3LIR) then presented his.
The Club funds were well up but expenses in the coming year tended to give the impression that an increase in subs would have to take place, to avoid using the reserve fund in the bank. The Treasurer stated that this report couldn't be as full as was required because his financial year and the clubs A.G.M. did not coincide.
The years finances had been assisted greatly by the junk sale and the raffles during the year - only one item failed us and that being a flash unit - the repairs to which cost the club 15/-. The "Tea Boat" had done well and a letter of apology was received from G3LQW for having failed to help as he had hoped in this venture.
The Treasurers report was then accepted it was proposed by Mr Goadby and seconded by Mr Craythorne that the club Annual Subscription should remain the same i.e. £1-1-0. This was carried unanimously.
Election of new officers now followed.
