Social Meeting held in the Paphos Gardens Hotel 15 Nov 2008

With 56 members present

 The meeting was opened by Ian Dunbar, (Chairman, MGB Roadster) in a rather chaotic manner due to the management misunderstanding the numbers attending. Several members later complained that it was not good enough and the new committee would need to address the matter with the management. The Chairman then explained that over the years the club had used several venues and this was by far the best so far, and perhaps this was just a one off.

 He then invited Lindsay Smith (Fiat 500) to outline the details for the forthcoming Poker Run on the 23^rd Nov. Lindsay asked if all navigators could start taking cameras as he wishes to run a photographic competition in the New Year. More details to follow later.

 Ray Walker (Lotus Espirit) suggested that we as a club were not using our vehicles enough. The Chairman agreed and explained that the committee were there to assist in any way possible in organizing events but it was up to the members to come forward with ideas. If necessary they could be co-opted on to the committee for the duration of the event but they would have no voting rights at committee meetings.

 Peter Howard (Triumph Stag) was then invited, having taken over the management of the Web Site, to explain to members how he was progressing. It was stressed that hopefully the site would become the focal point for all members to access, for any information relating to the club activities. It was hoped that in due course all members would have a password to a secure area of the site where member’s details would be published. Any member not wishing to have their details published on the site would need to inform him accordingly.

Peter Neighbour (Austin 7) said he had been approached about the possibility of a static display for a local event next spring. The Chairman stressed that this was exactly the sort of venues that the Club could become involved in. Peter said he would provide more details at a later date. Wendy Hart (Secretary) collected nominations for the forthcoming AGM on the 13^th December.

 Danne Johnstone once again provided an interesting general knowledge quiz, which certainly had a few members scratching their head

The Chairman finally closed the meeting stressing that this was his last social event.

 Peter Howard then proposed a huge thank you  to Ian from all members for his long tenure as Chairman.
