November was our AGM meeting and was well attended with twenty-two members. Who would have thought that an AGM could be described as convivial, fun, and not boring?
Before getting down to the ‘serious’ business, we had our own bangers to enjoy (inspired by Bonfire night), accompanied by mash and baked beans. (Many thanks to Janet, Graham and Derek F). Wise decision by the committee to have the meal first, followed by the AGM.
Our Chairman duly presented her report (good set of meetings for 2025, ranging from skittles to horse-racing to cheese tasting and the inevitable wine tasting). The treasurer reported that the finances were stable. We then moved on to the subject of electing Committee Officers. All the committee agreed to stand for another year, although Janet in particular would like someone to take over the Secretary role next year. They were all elected unanimously.
The Committee for 2026 is as below:
Chairman : Val Large
Secretary : Janet Bailey
Treasurer : Kent Sandiford
Committee : Heather Charman, Mary Freeman, Derek Freeman, Graham Bailey and Chris Hoskins.
Liz Lake also very kindly agreed to do the monthly write-up for the Nutfield Link, with backup from Francis Dickinson.
The planned programme for 2026 was discussed and agreed. Many thanks go to Mary and Derek for organising the raffle.
The Christmas Party is on the 2nd December. Mulled wine will be served before the meal, with a festive quiz to round off the evening. Details will also be available for our New Year Dinner on Tuesday, 13th January 2026. For further information, please contact Janet on 822333.
