The Woodall-Duckham Club

• The AGM was very brief. David Elvin announced that he felt that it was time to stand down from the chair, after five years. Derek Gosden had agreed to take over the Chairmanship. David Powdrill had agreed to continue as Treasurer, and our ever-youthful secretary, Lin Cooper, was willing to continue. David had agred to remain as a Committee Member. No other nominations had been received, and they were elected en bloc with acclaim.
• The Hon Treasurer reported a balance of £1,080.42 at 31st December 2006. This was adequate to fund the planned functions.
• Just over 50 Members attended the function. A considerable number had apologised because of looking after grandchildren during half-term, being on holiday, or because of infirmity or distance. It was pointed out that the event had been moved from the fourth Wednesday in September, because of the number on holiday, and it was agreed that the present arrangement should continue.
• The new Chairman took over and reminded everybody that it would be helpful if as many as possible could receive notices by E-mail. This would help to contain future costs of postage. As lunch was ready, he concluded with a hope that everybody would enjoy themselves.
