Committee Meeting Wed 30 Sept 2009
President Roger Dye welcomed members to Hazel Grove Bowling and Tennis Club and announced that a “remote Mouse” had been purchased for the Shuttle computer, to allow speakers to control digital slides from “front of house”. Richard Scaife reported on 6 CD’s of images from the recent Poynton Show. Bill Chadband noted that judges Tony Pioli (Annual Exhibition); John Cartledge (Inter-club prints) and Tony Dudley (Interclub PDI) had been appointed. Possible performers for the Friday Night Music night had been approached but no response as yet.
Jill Hargreaves reported a total of 58 (members plus life members), and noted that some apparent members had still not paid. Agreed that as non-members these folk would have to pay visitors subs on the night until they joined as members, and could not enter competitions until they were paid-up members. Bill Chadband noted that another Focus was imminent. 28 members had indicated they didn’t need the paper Focus; 13 members did want it; 2 members preferred an emailed version. Colin Pickles noted that 20 members had signed up for Venice, but no Hotel prices were yet available. Agreed that next Session would begin on 14th September 2010 and that we would meet on 21st December 2010. This met Graham Johnston’s concerns re the syllabus.
