So last week was not only our club service meeting but also our AGM.
The meeting was opened by Sergeant Fish and we then had Immediate Past President / Secretary Greg Peck inform those that were gathered that the as a result of President Goran standing down from the position of President that the club would be best served by having Past President Lyn Bunce stand in as President of the club, until the President Elect is ready to take the reins of the club after his President Elect Training which will be conducted in February 2020.
President Lyn Bunce was warmly congratulated by those in attendance as she took control of the meeting. After some standard procedures President Lyn Bunce suspended the meeting and handed control to Assistant Governor Geoff Young to conduct the club's AGM.
AG Geoff Young proceeded with the AGM and had the minutes of last years meeting read and confirmed as well as confirming that all present were financial members and eligible to vote. Secretary Greg Peck read the minutes of last years AGM and they were passed as read. Treasurer Alan Chalmers delivered the End of Financial Year report on the Club's finances and this was also passed as read.
Voting for the Executive positions of the club for the Rotary Year 2020 / 2021 were then conducted and the following were voted in to to the respective positions:
President Grant Austen
President Elect Designate Josie Wilson
Secretary Greg Peck
and Treasurer Alan Chalmers
There was a motion put forward to set the number of Board Members at nine and to determine a few guidelines around positions on the Board including that the terms of office can be up to two years. After some interesting discussions and debate the motion was passed.
Assistant Governor Geoff Young then closed the AGM and handed control of the Club Service meeting back to President Elect Grant Austen who then ran the remainder of the club service meeting.
