Tim, David, Paul and Sandy are therefore elected. We welcome newcomers Paul
and Sandy to the Society Committee and offer commiserations to Eric and
Roger.
Roy announced that this would be his last term as Society Chairman and we
should therefore look for a new Chairman to take over in 2010.
Extension
The main news was that we've reached agreement with WSCC over purchase of
the tip. We expect to exchange contracts in June which will then allow the
share issue to be launched (though there will be a 3 month lag because of
FSA scrutiny of the share prospectus). We won't take ownership immediately
and have up to 2 years to complete. During this period, the tip will,
obviously, remain in WSCC ownership.
It is essential to note that we DO NOT have right of access so please do not
go exploring the tip because you will be trespassing!
A full report on this important news will be available soon.
Presidential Address
We were delighted that our President, Bernard
Holden, was able to be with us for most of the evening. Bernard addressed
the meeting for around 15 minutes, recalling events around the start up of
the Society and the subsequent meetings. He finished by saying that we had
been at Kingscote for over 10 years and it was high time we were in East
Grinstead. He received a standing ovation which lasted several minutes.
A full report from the meeting will be available soon.
The revised Objectives, Aims & Plans as agreed at the meeting are now available online.
