14th Annual General Meeting – 7th December, 2018 –
This was again in Tunnock’s Uddingston premises, curtesy of VSMA member Boyd Tunnoch. As usual, it was a very brief and unremarkable affair. There were 19 members in total who managed to attend! As expected, there was no change in the Board of management, the following being re-elected to join standing Ordinary Board Members Duncan paterson, Barry Crichton, Ian smillie and Donald Gordon.
Chairman – James W. McInnes
Vice-Chairman and treasurer – Robert Bailie
Secretary – Stuart S I Parker
Ordinary Board Members – Mid Bruce, Charlie Young, Adele Paterson and Hugh MacKinnon
Following reports from the Chairman and Secretary, Treasurer Bob Baillie confirmed that our financial affairs were quite in order, and he went on to describe what was in store for us in the Spring Run in April. In particular he stated that we would be more than impressed with our proposed visit to M-Sport in the Lake district.
Some of the Members and Directors at the AGM – notice the pies were almost finished!
Chairman Jimmie closed the meeting with a thanks to all for attending and also to Tunnock’s for providing an excellent repast (as usual)!
