Mike C chaired the meeting in the absence of Frank C, with a larger than normal contingent of club members attending.

Mike gave a summary of the previous year’s activities and pointed out that 2008 is being celebrated as the 40th Anniversary of the club.

Joe R gave the Treasurer’s Report, which showed the club to be in a sound financial state and the accounts were accepted by the meeting. The “Honorary Auditor”, Peter B, agreed to examine the books once again in the next year.

The Club Captain, Mark T, reported that the teams, many of which had been promoted in recent years, were now fighting hard to hold a mid table position. For a club of our size, we were still  fielding a large number of teams and holding our own against the larger clubs.

Annabel W pointed out that the “New Junior Committee” has been in operation for over two years. We now have youngsters coming through the ranks and playing at county level as well as turning out for the Senior sides.

Jan B reported that various celebrations are being arranged for the 40th Anniversary, in particular, a new range of club tennis clothing with a new club emblem, which were on display for the first time at the AGM.

As Frank C is finally standing down from official duties,  Mike C was elected as the new Club Chairman.

This left a vacant position for the Vice Chairman. The meeting agreed that this position could be combined with other committee responsibilities and Mark T was duly elected as the new Vice Chairman.

Val K stood down as Membership Secretary. Kath G had volunteered to take over and was duly elected as the new Membership Secretary.

The remaining committee members had all declared their willingness to continue in their existing roles and were duly re-elected.

The meeting agreed that Subscriptions for 2008-2009 would remain at the current level.
