AGM, Awards & Trophies
2010 AGM
The 2010 AGM was well attended and Gina, our Chairman, ensured that the business meeting was short and efficient. Nominations for new members were invited and Suzanne Garlick offered her services and was duly proposed and seconded.
There then followed the presentation of Trophies and Rosettes for 2010. The results are reported below. Finally we had the very well supported raffle. Thank you all for parting so willingly with your cash, which helped cover the costs of the meeting.
Before the Offa's Dyke Group awards were
presented there
was a special presentation to Jan Rath with an award from the
National AGM for 4000 km of successfully completed rides.
